If you love colour and love yarn, then you’ll love this workshop from Peak District Yarns. You will learn how to read hand dyed yarns and how they look knitted up.
You will learn the basics of colour theory and how acid dyes work on different yarn bases. You will then design your perfect hand-dyed skein (choose either Merino DK or Merino Sock Yarn) and create it using a hand-painted technique using pre-mixed dyes. You will then see a demo of other dyeing techniques which you can try at home if you catch the yarn-dyeing bug!
One 100g skein of yarn is included in the price of the workshop, but if you wish to dye a second skein you can purchase it on the day (£13).
Maximum 6 participants per workshop.
The workshop runs from 1pm to 4.30pm and is held at the Peak District Yarns Studio and Workshop, Commercial Road, Tideswell, SK17 8NU.
Skill level: Beginner
