What to expect

The focus of our time together will be on the joy of creating a special, one-of-a-kind skein of yarn with natural dyes. We will provide a brief orientation to natural dyeing, color choices and application tips, and most of the session will be spent painting your own skein. We will send you home with instructions on how to steam at home.

Dyeing is messy, especially using the technique of hand painting. We recommend wearing clothes and shoes that can withstand the risk of stain. While the materials we are using will not dye your clothes, they can make stains (and we will talk about why there’s a difference).

The cost of the class includes a 100g skein of Color Me Happy Fiber Arts yarn, natural dye materials, instruction, and a handout with resources. You can select two skeins at checkout for an additional cost.
