Dyeing Intentional Colour

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
