Dyeing can be a rewarding 'adventure', and hand-made, hand dyed fibres and yarns provide a unique raw material for any number of textile projects.

A member of the Guild will guide students through the serendipity of some simple dyeing techniques.  Plain yarn or wool tops will be transformed into beautiful and satisfying space dyed hanks, ready to take home and fix for use in future projects.

This Workshop is suitable for beginners.

Dyes etc will be supplied at a cost of £3.50 per student.

Students need to bring - 4 x 50 gram hanks of yarn. or 4 x 50 grams of Wool tops (preferably not Merino unless it is superwash merino), or a mix of both.
