Easy Peasy Wool and Silk Dyeing

Easy Peasy Wool and Silk Dyeing In this class you will learn 2 ways to do easy batch dying of animal fibers. I do this type of dyeing when I do not need to repeat the color or silk or make an exact match. Each batch will have slight variations in colors because of the easy method, but with no bookkeeping so it is not repeatable. However you can dye up to a pound at a time using this method. We will dye merino, some silk fiber and some silk yardage. It is easy and quick and can yield beautiful colors! Great for felting, knitting and spinning.
