We’re thinking outside of the dye pot! This two-hour class is an introduction to using natural dyes on protein fibers, covering considerations and techniques for dyeing yarn for yarn-based projects like knitting, crochet and nalbinding. Special attention is paid to how to prep yarn for dyeing, how to maintain the integrity of the yarn during the natural-dye process, and tailoring your dyeing for specific projects. Participants will go home having dyed two skeins of DK merino wool yarn and a fingering weight sock blank to use in your future projects.
