Yarn Dyeing & Weaving

Instructor: Carol Reed

Skill Level: Beginner

Join us to hand dye 2 skeins of bulky weight yarn (15% alpaca, 85% wool). We will create 2 colors: blue using indigo and a shade of gold by naturally dyeing with marigolds. Each skein is 100 grams and 92 yards, the perfect amount for a hat or pair of mittens. While we wait for our yarn to dye, each student will make a small weaving that can be a necklace or ornament using a wooden loom and the instructor’s naturally dyed yarn and other yarn.
