As I travel around the sheep-dotted fjords of Iceland, I’m reminded of the stunning landscape of a part of the world that my latest guest has made her home. Looking to work with a textile community, Catherine Allie moved from Germany to Ladakh in the High Himalayas, sandwiched between Tibet and Kashmir. Together with her Ladakhi husband and his nomadic family, she founded textile collective WE ARE KAL. Weaving yak and lamb wool into beautiful, naturally dyed home textiles and clothing, Catherine and her community have created a sustainable business directly linked with the landscape of the places they work in. Bear with our spotty internet connection for the first couple of minutes, and definitely stay tuned until the end to get a glimpse of Catherine’s life in remote Ladakh!

A huge shout out to listener Sarah Dunn for connecting me with Catherine! Please do check out Sarah’s own textile work which draws inspiration from Catherine in the shownotes below at Rani & Reine.
