In a continuation of our extract dye weekend, we will be using our favorite natural dyes as concentrates to paint multicolor yarns or spinning fibers. As always, we will discuss proper prep and mordanting for natural dyes, and learn a few tricks for getting the patterns you want on your multicolored yarn.

Not necessary to have attended Saturday’s workshop to have a great time in this class! Each participant will receive 2 skeins of washable fingering weight merino yarn, or 8 oz (2 4 oz braids) of Rambouillet Top. Please specify which you would like to work with. One of each is also an option!

Please bring several pairs of latex gloves and a plastic bag or bin to bring home wet fibers.
