Event
Dyeing Wool with Vegetal and Synthetic Dyes
This is a hands-on class to learn to use both vegetal dyes and acid-based dyes. In the morning we will mordant yarns and start dyeing wool and yarn with onion skins, walnut, and cochineal. As time allows, we will explore over-dyeing, and afterbaths. After lunch, Marlie takes over to explain the use of acid dyes, and how to space, vat, steam, and hand paint with commercial dyes. Students will leave with lots of their own hand-dyed wool, roving, and yarns. Bring a brown bag lunch.
