Natural dye workshop

Corinne will explain the process of obtaining dye material, how to process the dye material, how to prepare the dye pots, how to dye with the natural dyes and how to mordant the fiber in order that it is color fast. All dye materials and mordants are natural and non caustic.

Each person will be provided small skeins of yarn to mordant and dye in four different dye pots and will leave with 8 different samples of nature's palette and a pattern for a small knit project. All materials are provided. (Please bring lunch)
