In this episode I talk with Amanda Jarvis, the new owner/operator and long-time employee of Lorna’s Laces and Mrs Crosby Yarns. Lorna’s Laces has been a staple in the hand-dyed yarn market for years, and Mrs Crosby loves to play. We’ll then talk to Deb Robson about the superwash process and how it affects wool.
