Episode 14 of the Podcast – Waterhouse Collection, woad dyeing, late summer garden update

In this episode I talk about The Waterhouse Collection of Mendip 4-Ply hand-dyed yarn; my recently-finished hand-spun jumper; a colourwork hat I've designed and am knitting; extracting dye from woad to overdye some yarn; and an update on what's going on in the garden.  

If you enjoy the podcast and want to help support the content I'm creating, you can buy me a coffee on Ko-fi.
