This episode, we welcome Karida Collins, owner and dyer/artist of Neighborhood Fiber Co.Karida joins us for our regular segments and more discussion about hand-dyed yarns, how to work with them, and how to manage our own expectations as consumers of hand-dyed yarns. Karida is on the east coast, and we are on the west, so we recorded via Skype. There are a few areas where the audio cuts out a bit due to internet connectivity issues, but for the most part, it came out pretty clear. We really enjoyed chatting with Karida and we hope you will too.
