Natural Dye Course

Create Beautiful Colour from Natural Dyes

Prepare yarn for dyeing.    Forage for dye plants.     Prepare dye baths. 

 

This is a one day course designed to give you a hands on introduction into the amazing world of colour that natural dyes can offer.
 
Working with a combination of  foraged seasonal plants and dried dye material, you will prepare and mordant your yarn and make 3 different dye baths. 
 
You will also have the opportunity to over dye your skeins using my Indigo vat to create even more colours.
 
 All materials and equipment are provided, with handouts for recipes you have been working with during the day.
Tea and coffee are available all day and a delicious homemade lunch is included so you can relax and enjoy the day.
We will be working outside next to the alpaca fields and the alpacas will no doubt mosey over to say hello on the hunt for carrots!
