Botanical Dying Workshop

3 hour workshop | $90
Thursday 09/17 5:30-8:30 pm

Join Anne Choi of Middle Brook Fiberworks for a hands-on introduction
to the beautiful world of botanical
dyeing, created especially for yarn and fiber lovers.

Did you know that your garden, and even some of the plants growing wild around you, can provide beautiful, lasting color
for wool and other natural fibers?

In this three-hour workshop, Anne will introduce us to the basics of natural dyeing, from understanding how color bonds with fiber to choosing and harvesting plants that produce lasting results. We’ll talk about growing a dye garden of your own, gathering dyestuffs responsibly in the wild, and preparing wool and other natural fibers for the dye pot. Then we’ll get our hands in the color. Through a combination of demonstration and experimentation, we’ll explore solar dyeing, immersion dyeing, and botanical eco-printing, discovering how different plants, techniques, and fibers can produce wonderfully varied results.

Each participant will leave with naturally dyed yarn and fabric swatches, along with the knowledge and inspiration to begin experimenting with botanical color
at home.

No previous dyeing experience is necessary. All materials and equipment are provided.

Participants are also welcome to bring a small amount of their own wool yarn or natural fiber to experiment with.

Class size: limited to 6

Sweater Workshop
Roomy Raglan Jr.

Ready to move beyond scarves and
hats and learn how a sweater actually comes together?

In this three-session intermediate beginner workshop, we’ll knit the Roomy Raglan Jr. by Jules Efterfield, the designer behind the wildly popular Roomy Raglan and a favorite among the KnitTok knitting community. Worked in bulky-weight yarn with surprisingly little yardage, this child-size version knits up quickly, making it a great way to learn sweater construction without the time or yarn commitment of an adult-size garment.

Over three 2-hour sessions, you’ll learn how to read and follow a sweater pattern, work in the round, create raglan shaping and increases, work German short rows to shape the neckline, separate the body and sleeves, pick up stitches, and finish your sweater. By the time you’re finished, you’ll understand how a top-down raglan sweater comes together and have the skills and confidence to move on to an adult-size sweater, including the original Roomy Raglan.

Make it a stash-buster by combining leftover yarns and scraps for a one-of-a-kind sweater, or choose yarn for your project at w o o l . Yarn and supplies are not included in the class fee.

Discover an expressive, process-oriented approach to tapestry weaving while learning traditional handweaving techniques. Working on a standing tabletop loom, you'll explore how to combine a variety of beautiful fibers—including fluffy roving, long wool locks, silk ribbon, handspun art yarn, and more—to create a piece that is entirely your own. Along the way, we'll experiment with different weave structures and knotting techniques to build texture, create geometric shapes, and add sculptural dimension.

By the end of class, you'll complete a one-of-a-kind mini sampler tapestry to take home. All tools, equipment, and materials are included, featuring handspun yarn, hand-dyed roving, wool and mohair locks, eco-printed silk and wool gauze ribbon, linen paper yarn, and other specialty fibers. You're also welcome to bring any favorite yarns or fibers you'd like to incorporate into your piece.
