Discover the art of natural dyeing, where plants, kitchen scraps, garden materials, and foraged items like nuts are transformed into vibrant colors for cloth and fiber. In this class we will focus on dyeing wool yarn. Learn to prepare wool for dyeing, create natural dye baths, and process fibers to achieve stunning, organic hues. Perfect for anyone interested in sustainable and creative practices, this class will inspire you to explore the beauty of nature’s palette. You will leave class with a collection of yarn samples demonstrating the beautiful colors nature can transfer to textiles and a resource booklet to support you in your natural dyeing endeavors.
