How to dye natural fibres, kimonos as evening loungewear, and other things two nerds chat about

...including how to carefully manage social batteries

You don’t want to miss this episode if you would like to get inside tips on how to use dye to tweak the colours of natural fibres. Tiffany Henschel is my guest in this podcast episode, and I am in awe of how she performs miracles with dye, on delicate fibres like merino wool and silk, and she shares her inside tips in this conversation.
