We're back! Hi! Sorry for the unplanned hiatus--we missed you, too. This week, we've got a delightful sponsored episode featuring the most specific and niche topic we've ever covered. It's hats! 18th-century naval knit hats recovered from shipwrecks! See? Extremely specific. But FASCINATING! We get into the knitty gritty (HA) and also talk about fabric conservation, a smidge of underwater archaeology, and FOSSILIZED FABRIC! Tune in or miss out!
Audio note: Something funky happened with this recording, and there was a lot of unpleasant buzzing in a few spots. Anna fixed it as much as possible, but it does mean the audio quality is a little different on this one.
