Upcoming Natural Dyeing with Sock Blanks
1 Day Workshop with Sheri Ward
Thursday, May 2, 2023
11:00am–3:00pm
Have you ever wanted to hand-dye self striping or ombre sock yarn? Play with natural dyes? Here’s your chance to do both! Sock blanks are machine knit “canvas” of yarn designed to be dyed then easily unraveled and knit again as socks, or anything else you’d like, such as a cowl or scarf.
In this class, we’ll use natural dye extracts to dye your wool sock blanks. We’ll cover fiber preparation, scouring, mordanting, and design.
Join us for a fantastic day playing with color and fiber, and leave the class with your very own naturally hand dyed yarn.
Students can arrange for post class knitting support at Jansen on Thursdays during open studio if needed.
