Dye Classes
Dye with Logwood, Indigo and Osage…..Purples, Blues, Yellows, and Greens.
In this 3 1/2 hour class you will learn about mordants, logwood, indigo, and osage. You will dye yarn in purple, blue, and yellow. Green is an option! Included in the handouts is information about the dyes and the techniques we use. You do not need to bring anything except perhaps an apron if you like. I will provide dye pots, gloves, dye material, equipment, yarn, and ziplock bags to take home the yarn you dye. I will have everything prepared for you ahead of time, including mordanting the yarn we will dye that day.
The class includes 4-50g hanks of yarn which you will dye and take home. You may choose the weight of yarn for the class, Fingering, Sport, DK, or Worsted. First, you will dye the yarn in 3 solids: 1 orange made with madder root, 1 pink one made with cochineal, and 1 maroon one made with lac. Then we’ll use that knowledge and make 1 multi-colored hank! If you are interested in dyeing fleece, I can also provide you with some fleece to dye and take home.
Activities include making dye pots for each color, mordanting a hank of yarn, planning out the multi-colored you will make, and then doing the actual dyeing.
I can teach this class at any location with room for up to 6 people. Or I can teach it at my studio, near the intersection of 32 and 108 in Clarksburg, MD.

Price for a group of 2 or more is $130
