EPISODE SIXTEEN :: Sarah Belcher of Blue Highway Hand Dyes - 'Comparison is the thief of joy', creating a local yarn, and exploring natural dyes

Summary: In episode 16 I spoke to Sarah Belcher of Blue Highway Handdyes Sarah lives in Texas, where she creates naturally dyed yarns from locally raised animals. We talk about her journey into dyeing, and how she couldn’t imagine acid dyes in her home around her family so she looked for an alternative and found natural dyes. She then went on to create her own yarn bases for her natural dyes from Texas -raised merino and mohair. I especially loved asking Sarah what her biggest bit of advice is. her answer “comparison is the thief of joy”. I felt like that so accurately sums up this whole journey of running a small business and I think a lot of people can relate to this feeling!
