To answer the question that came up in the podcast, yes – Mountain Meadow Wool does indeed have a photo of a lion on their Legacy Yarn Club page, but it has this caption, “Lions and Tigers and Bears – oh my! Lion and tiger fiber?… not likely but let your sense of adventure be unleashed with American Bison, Yak, and Alpaca as well as enjoy the smooth comfort that Silk/Tencel/Bamboo and other fine fibers have to offer.”
