The first of two session will be spent preparing our yarn to be died by washing and mordanting, and extracting some of the colours we will be using. The second will be spent finishing the extractions and the begin the dyeing process! Each student will leave with five unique, 22.5g, hanks of rich and vibrant yarn.
