As part of my series of interviews with hand-dyers, I’m sharing the words of Bernie of Bear In Sheep’s Clothing today. After an online friendship and sharing many real-life friends, I finally met Bernie at Edinburgh Yarn Festival 2017. We talked yarn, motherhood, and life. It’s always nice when an online friend is also a real-life friend without awkwardness.
Today, I’d like to focus on Bernie’s words because her work as a yarn-dyer is vibrant, like her personality. Excuse my crazy eyes (was in the car for two hours before this), but here’s a photo of us together at West Cork Yarn Festival 2019.
She shares some fun photos of dyeing, life, and yarn in her Instagram feed, so give it a follow if you don’t already. Now, away with the interview itself.
Such fun to share Bernie’s interview with you. Pop over to her Instagram to see more of her work and words. You can also see her yarn in a pattern in my upcoming Ultraviolet Knits book.
