A hands-on, friendly class that takes you from raw skeins to beautiful, ready-to-knit yarn!
What you’ll get
Skeins of worsted weight (DK4) natural fiber yarn - enough to dye to later make a scarf, hat, or pair of mittens (for example).
All dye materials, yarn, tools, gloves, and chemicals are provided.
Step-by-step instruction and plenty of one-on-one help.
What to expect:
Learn practical yarn skills: how to wind skeins for storage and for use, how to wash and prepare fiber, the best ways to hang and dry dyed yarn, and smart storage techniques to keep your stash pristine.
Experiment with color: we’re going to use two methods to dye the yarn, and you get to try both!
Leave with usable, hand-dyed yarn ready for your next project - and the confidence to dye at home.
Only 8 spots available in this class.
