Friday, October 6, 12 – 4 pm

Katie DeCosse

Learn how to dye wool using acid dyes, to use for rug hooking, knitting, weaving, and more! Participants in this workshop will learn several processes and techniques to dye wool in order to add interest and texture to future projects, including steaming, dip dyeing, and dyeing using a crock pot and microwave. Wear clothes that can get dirty and shoes that will not slip on a wet floor.

Materials fee is $20, payable (cash or check) to the instructor at the time of the class, to cover the cost of wool and dyes.
