About Skein and Tell
Skein and Tell is where we spill the tea on all things fiber arts. From untangling the history of yarns to squealing over social media crochet trends, we blend cozy conversations, crafty confessions, and a whole lot of squishy skein love.
Meet your host, Gea
Gea Dancu is your slightly chaotic, endlessly curious yarn bestie. When she’s not petting skeins like they’re kittens, she’s deep-diving into fiber folklore, experimenting with yarn you didn’t even know existed, and cheering on crafters around the world. Her mission? To keep the fiber arts fun, inclusive, and just a little bit weird.
Where yarn besties and craft legends meet
Some weeks it’s just you and Gea chatting stitches, other times Gea is joined by incredible guests that share their story, their creative process and their truths on everything fiber arts.
Gossip, giggles, and glorious segments
To keep things fun, we’ve got recurring segments that the fiber fam loves from deep dives into yarn history to quirky experiments with unusual fibers, heartwarming listener stories, and a peek at what’s trending in the craft world right now. Whether you’re tuning in for comfort, inspiration, or just a little yarn-flavored chaos, there’s always a segment waiting that feels made just for you.

This Week’s Crush: Alpaca Silk in Color 29 – Marrakech
Bestie, this skein is basically a romantic getaway in yarn form. 🧶✨ Imagine the softness of baby alpaca whispering sweet nothings, mixed with silk that shimmers like candlelight on desert sands. And the color? Marrakech, a gorgeous jewel-toned dream, like the spice markets at sunset, warm terracotta walls, and a dash of mystery. It’s the kind of yarn that makes you forget all your WIPs and start sketching a whole new project because, let’s be real, this is main character energy.
