Heather, boutrosbabe on Ravelry, is the brilliant dyer behind Highland Handmades yarn, fiber and spindles.  I've met Heather "in real life" a couple of times and she is just as outgoing, adoreable and funny in person as she is on her podcast.  Heather has superb color sense and I love seeing all of her creativity.  You can find her podcast on iTunes, youtube and on her blog thefiberistafiles(dot)com.  Check out her awesome designs on Ravelry to go with your fabulous Highland Handmade products.
