Beginner Dyeing (Acid Dyes)

Learn to enhance your woolcrafting by adding colour in your own style.

This beginners workshop introduces you to principles of using acid (chemical) dyes on non-superwash, natural wool yarn. We look at a range of techniques that produce different styles - semi-solid, variegated, spots, resist, layers - with stovetop, steam and using a bain marie.

Participants create yarns with the Tarndie Beanie pattern as the focus and finish with enough bespoke Polwarth 4ply yarn to create a beanie.

The tutor is Tom Dennis who has been working with Landscapes Dyes on Polwarth wool since 2015 and creates yarns for the Tarndwarncoort woolshop.

$165 - includes tution, morning tea, 4 x 25gm skeins of 4ply yarn, Tarndie Beanie knitting pattern.
