This talk was filmed at our in-person Mill Open Weekend, June 2024. Kerry, of Ginger Pink Yarns, chats about her journey as a plant-dyer, using plants from her garden and her foraging exploits.

Massive thanks to everyone who joined us for our Mill Open Weekend celebrations, it was a pure delight to host so many of you whether down in Devon, or virtually! Make sure to check out our plans for the next open weekends here: https://www.jarbon.com/mill-open-week...
