DYEING
Colour changes everything! Learning to dye your own colours on yarn and fibre sets the foundation for your own unique creations in the fibre arts. From weaving with hand-dyed warps to spinning with handpainted fibre, colour play begins with dyeing.
DYEING WITH ACID DYES
Create your own unapologetic and unique hand-dyed yarns and colourways using acid dyes and protein-based fibres with confidence and intention. If you are interested in learning acid dyeing, please start with Dyeing Intentional Colour and then go onto Dyeing Complex Colour.
DYEING WITH NATURAL DYES
The range of colours that can be produced with natural dyes has a cohesiveness and harmony that roots us to our environment. The natural dye journey is full of colour play and learning. Join us in these courses to learn to dye with natural dyes, extracts, wildcrafted materials, indigo powder, and fresh indigo leaves.
DYEING WITH FIBRE REACTIVE DYES
Are you looking to learn how to dye cotton and cellulose fibres with vibrant, long-lasting colours? In these courses, we’ll show you how to use fibre reactive dyes for dyeing cellulose-based fibres and fabrics with ease. Learn the step-by-step process and get creative with your fabric designs! Get ready for an exciting journey of colour exploration!

Reference Books for Dyers
These are a few of my favourite reference books over the years, and a great place to start building a dyer’s library!
