Description

Got your eye on a lovely fade pattern? Want to knit or crochet something in an ombre yarn? If so, this dyeing workshop is for you!

This half-day workshop teaches you how to get varying depths of shade when dyeing yarn. We will explore how to create different shades from a single dye colour, and create a mini-skein fade set to take away.

We will then explore the ways to create an ombre or gradient yarn. You will create an ombre using a sock blank and we will discuss other methods which can be used to achieve the same effect.

200g of yarn are included in the price of this workshop:

• a set of five mini skeins (choose either a Merino DK or Merino 4-ply Sock Yarn)
• a sock blank (choose either a single or double stranded 4-ply merino sock blank)

Maximum 6 participants per workshop.

This is an intermediate-level workshop, and the basics of yarn dyeing are not covered in this workshop. If you are a complete beginner, we recommend you attend the Introduction to Yarn Dyeing workshop before attending this one.
