Love to knit? How about knitting with hand painted yarns? Take your knitting passion to the next level by learning to dye your own unique yarn. Susan will take you through the proper fiber prep, the safe handling of dyes and instruct you on how to set the fabri to get the most color from the dye. You will learn how the placement of color and types of application will affect the overall design of the yarn and fabric knit from it.

A yarn blank is made from 2 strands of yarn that will create 2 separate skeins of yarn that are identically dyed. At the end of class you will have your own hand painted blank. Come join us where your creativity is only limited by your willingness to get your hands dirty. The material fee includes a 3.5 oz. sock yarn blank and dyes.
