dye-your-own yarn workshop day!!
i'm now running dye-your-own workshop days at my wee studio in west kilbride!!
workshop cost: £50 per person
workshop format: 4-5 hours split into two halves. in the first half of the workshop, you will get the chance to dye up some mini tester skeins of several different yarn bases (type of base available may depend on what i currently have in stock), which will give you a chance to experiment with several different fibres & colours, as well as trying out some different dyeing techniques. in the second half of the workshop, you will dye a full-sized skein of your choice of base yarn in your own custom colourway!
the workshop charge includes tester skeins, full-sized skein, and dyeing tuition - extra skeins can also be dyed at an additional cost of £5 per extra skein.
(please note that my dyeing method is more "artistic" than "scientific" - i won't be giving you loads of technical information, but you'll get a fun day of trying different colours & yarns, and will get to take home a small project's worth of yarn in your own custom colourway.)
to book a workshop day, simply email me! for the most part, i can arrange my studio hours to suit your schedule, so i'm happy to try & accommodate you if you have a particular day/time in mind. in order to have the best possible dyeing experience, i'd prefer to have no more than two people booked to take a workshop at the same time.
please note that due to upgrade work being done in the studio space, i'm currently unable to run dyeing workshops until further notice. workshops will most likely be available again as of june 2012 - sorry for any disappointment this may cause!!
