I want to apologize ahead of time for my hair. I should have checked side and rear angles before recording.
Dyepots – no links, since nothing’s going up in the shop. Sorry! If I have any left after the Frolic, I’ll list them. I promise! The colorways are Dionysus, Downeast, Dandelion, Gaia, Sky Dance (for now) and Candy Apple. All are 4 oz. braids of SW Merino.
Processes – dyepots/pans/kettles … whatever you call them. I show you mine and explain basically how they work.
Growth: Business cards from VistaPrint. I got 250 for $20, roughly. They are a nice weight and look awesome.
Grabby Hands:
- Craft Culture, the awesome podcast. Super opportunity for you to become a part of DaniDo’s Summer Tour!
- How to Knit a Lovesong by Rachel Herron, of Yarnagogo fame. Amazing. Read it!
- Farmer Brown Shears His Sheep – A Yarn about Wool. This kids’ book by Teri Sloat is a terific example of non-biased, gender-neutral crafting. The farmer shears his sheep, a man cards and cleans it, a woman dyes it, a man spins it and Farmer Brown himself knits the yarn into sweaters. Get a copy for your little knitter today!
Next week you’ll have an opportunity to win a skein of Highland Handmades yarn! As always, let me know what you think about the podcast here in the comments or by emailing me: heather@highlandhandmades.com
