Create gorgeous, unique yarn on this hand dyeing workshop with dye expert Debbie Tomkies. Join and dye along or watch later! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Course level: This event is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who want to brush up their skills or just enjoy a couple of hours dyeing some fab yarn! What you will learn: * How to set up your space and prepare your yarn for dyeing * The essential principles of hand dyeing - what types of dye there are, what fibres you can dye and how the dyes are used on each fibre * How to make up your dyes, create colours from pastels to the deepest shades * Blending your dyes to create your own colourways * Fun ways to apply dye to your yarn, including immersion, low water immersion, handpainting, rainbow dyeing and more * Fixing your dye * Finishing your yarn You will need: * We recommend either our acid dye or procion dye kits. These contain all the ingredients you'll need as well as our accompanying full instruction booklet. To get you started, we would suggest a set of three dye colours (available in the starter kits) will give you loads of colour potential. If you have the budget, the deluxe kits offer a wider range with 12 gorgeous colours. You can also use your own dyes (please get in touch if you're not sure whether the dyes you have will be suitable). * You will also need some natural fibre yarn. Ideally wool or an animal fibre but if you prefer a non-animal fibre, cotton, rayon, bamboo, linen and other plant-based yarns can also be used. You'll find an extensive range of undyed yarn on our website but you may are welcome to use your own yarn. And of course, we're very happy to advise if you're not sure whether what you have is suitable. * Our free downloadable guide also sets out what materials and equipment you will need. Most of the equipment is cheaply and easily obtainable from the local supermarket or DIY shop (Wilko and B&M are our favourites in the UK!) but please make sure anything you use isn't used for food afterwards.
