About this episode
Send us a text This week Felicia welcomes Coty Jeronimus to The SweetGeorgia Show. Coty is one of the co-founders of Nomad Noos : a new mission-driven luxury yarn company that is dedicated to the concept of slow cloth and slow fashion. Coty and her co-founder Alessandra work to bring handspun, sustainably sourced yarn from Mongolia and Nepal to the hand knitting community. At the core of their mission is this question: What if your favourite knitted project not only gives you a good feeling but also has a positive impact on the world too? Please join Felicia and Coty as they discuss the process of making beautiful and sustainable yarn!
