A gradient dyed hand spun yarn, and my design to use it // CasFri S7E09

In this week's Casual Friday podcast, I have fun events on the horizon, progress on my handspun sweater (and an upgrade on an existing button band), a new 17th century stocking in the works, and what I've learned recently in my sewing projects.
