Get Started

Create your own unapologetic and unique hand-dyed yarns and colourways using acid dyes and protein-based fibres with confidence and intention. In this course, we will explore:

  • dyeing your own yarns and fibres using immersion dyeing techniques
  • understanding and learning to control the dye process to produce colours intentionally
  • discovering your own creative process, balancing the science and art of dyeing and understanding the variables that affect dyed results so that you can play freely with colour
  • setting up your own dye studio with the right space and the ideal equipment for acid dyeing
  • learning the differences in working with yarn vs. spinning fibre
  • troubleshooting both during and after the dye process
  • creating your own system to record your dye experiments and sessions

For any questions and to share your dyeing adventures, come visit us in the SOS community forums! Plus, tag us on Instagram with #sosdyeing and #schoolofsweetgeorgia!
