🌟 About the Guest

Linda and Michelle have worked together for 25 years, initially as professors in an academic medical center and now as natural dyers in a fiber arts studio. Michelle has been knitting since childhood and recently added weaving and spinning to her skills. Linda, who began with sewing and cross-stitch, found knitting 25 years ago. During the pandemic, they started a venture combining their love of fiber, nature, and research. They believe in the positive impact of color and creativity on mental and physical health and the grounding effects of using natural materials.
