Dyers in this episode:
1. Andrew (aka Kitey) is the Indie Dyer behind Yw (Yarn Whisperer), dyeing vibrant and delicious collections inspired by nature, food and the Universe.
He took up knitting in 2020 and dived into SLIPSTRAVAGANZA that same year as his second ever knit!
Choosing colours and putting colour stories together for the MKALs and other @westknits shawls is a TOTAL JOY for him, and as a dyer, he always has plenty of yarn to hand!

3. Hi I’m Francesco, the creator of Dark Omen Yarn, a small dyeing studio I opened in 2020 in my hometown Spotorno, in Italy.
I’ve been making colors between one coffee break and another ever since, thanks to this job I’ve been able to travel all over Europe doing festivals and making good friends with fellow dyers!

6. I’m Ted, and I’m the dyer behind TedKnitsUK. I started my business in 2020 just before covid lockdown, and I hand dye small batches of luxury yarns in my kitchen at home in Surrey, UK.
I’m inspired by the things in find in nature, and also Geology, the Cosmos and some Sci-fi.
I have a diverse dye style, and have something for everyone, from knitters and crocheters to felters and weavers.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
