Let's talk COLOR! Are you enchanted by the beautiful braids of fiber at local yarn shops? Learn to make your own custom-dyed wool using basic items in your home kitchen like an old crock pot and food coloring.
The instructor will lead you though three different dyeing techniques using non-toxic food coloring dyes. You will also spin some previously dyed roving to see how the colors can be split up different ways. You'll get to take home your dyed roving in bags.
This course is appropriate for students with some basic knowledge of spinning. It is a great follow-up to the Drop Spindle for Beginners or the Beginning Wheel Spinning courses. Bring your wheel and spindle if you have one, or you may use one of our AshfordTraditional wheels. Please wear old clothing and shoes, or a large apron to protect clothing, as the dyes will stain permanently.
