A hands-on, friendly class that takes you from raw skeins to beautiful, ready-to-knit yarn!
What you’ll get
Skeins of worsted weight (DK4) natural fiber yarn - enough to dye for a scarf, hat, or pair of mittens.
All dye materials & tools, provided.
Step-by-step instruction and plenty of one-on-one help.
What to expect:
Learn practical yarn skills: how to wind skeins for storage and for use, how to wash and prepare fiber, the best ways to hang and dry dyed yarn, and smart storage techniques to keep your stash pristine.
Experiment with color: we’re going to use two methods to dye the yarn, and you get to try both!
Leave with usable, hand-dyed yarn ready for your next project - and the confidence to dye at home.
Only 8 spots available in this class.
Class details:
Date: Saturday February 21st (February 28th is a backup date in case the weather is bad on the 21st.)
Time: 10am - 4pm - approximately 6 hours (includes a lunch break).
Bring: clothes you don’t mind getting dye on (or dress in dark blacks).
Lunch: Bring your own or grab something from nearby - we have a fridge and microwave for your convenience.
Skill level: Beginner - perfect as an intro to yarn and dyeing.
Perfect for:
Makers who want to personalize their yarn.
Knitters and crocheters looking to learn yarn care and prep.
Anyone curious about fiber arts and color play.
Taught by: Laurie Connolly - who is an avid and experienced fiber artist in many ways, including felting, dying, eco printing, and more!
