Last weekend I taught a dyeing workshop in my garden, for 6 knitting friends who hadn’t done any dyeing before.
All the dye stocks ready to go!
We mainly dyed mainly yarn, with a little spinning fibre. Thank you to my students for use of their photos, my phone decided to died half way through the day.
We had a great day, filled with colour and chatter and cake! You’ll notice that they were often inspired by each other’s colour choices, so there are some similar skeins dyed by different people.
Here are some of the students finished yarns.
Great sets of gradient mini skeins!
And using bits of left over dye from the students I dyed these random skeins and some BFL fibre.
That looks like such a fun afternoon! The yarns look beautiful, especially for being dyed by ‘first timers’. I have never dyed anything – yarn, fiber, clothes – nothing. But this makes it look like fun.
