‘YARN TO “DYE” FOR’ – Introduction:
We are so excited to be running the latest dyeing workshop. Have you ever heard of a “Blank?” Well, if not, let us enlighten you! A “Blank” is a term that describes a piece of knitting that is knit flat, in stockinette stitch, with natural, un-dyed, fingering weight yarn. This rectangle is then prepared for the dye and dye is applied to it. Once the dyeing is complete and the dye is set, then the Blank (which is no longer “blank”) is dried and the yarn is re-wound into balls to knit or crochet with! When a Blank is produced for socks, the Blank is knit using a double strand of yarn. Upon completion, when the 2 strands of the Blank are unravelled, 2 identical balls emerge so your socks will match perfectly! How cool is that? When the Blank is used for a shawl, the Blank will be knit with a single strand of yarn. We are also thrilled to announce that Sock and Shawl Blanks will be ready-made and available for purchase here at the store in a variety of fibre blends, sizes, and price ranges.
Please join us for this new workshop that will prove to be relaxing, exciting and REALLY FUN!!!
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
One 2-Hour Session
Cost: $70.00 (Includes a 100 gram, pre-knit/ready-made Sock or Shawl Blank and EVERYTHING you need to dye your Blank = all materials & tools will be supplied) [**additional Blanks can be purchased separately]
Date & Time: Sunday Morning, June 25/17 from 10 am – 12 pm
OR Sunday Afternoon, June 25/17 from 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm
Teacher: Janice
PLEASE NOTE: The Sock & Shawl Blanks needed for this Dyeing Workshop will be PRE-KNIT, READY-MADE and provided for you in this class.
Please join us to welcome Janice as she teaches us all how to dye a “Blank!” Imagine applying dye to your very own Blank using your own choice of colours and learning many techniques on how to apply the dye using different mediums. Apply the dye horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or free-form with a sponge or spritz! Learn what effects the different methods have on the finished yarn. You could even dye a secret message on your blank for a special person or occasion; kind of like creating your own code!
Janice, being the skilled and creative person that she is, will really help you to ‘let go of your fears’ when it comes to Dyeing and assist you to “Play” with colour and embrace the “Fun” side of the Dyeing process. Students will complete their first Blank in class and learn everything they need to go home and capably dye all kinds of Blanks, repeating the dyeing process again and again.
Everything you need will be provided (other than some old clothes and a towel) for you during this hands-on dyeing workshop. We are happy to let you know that the dyes we will be using are non-toxic and food safe, containing no nasty fumes or harmful chemicals. Be sure to join us! This workshop is going to be LOADS OF FUN, FUN, FUN…we can hardly wait!
Rated: Everyone
Pre-Requisite: None
Important!! Please remember to dress accordingly! Be sure to wear clothing, that if dye accidentally gets splashed or spritzed on you, it will not ruin good clothing.
Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity (this is the last Dyeing Class for the summer).
Come join us on Sunday morning or afternoon and surprise yourself as you expand your skills & discover some hidden (or not so hidden) talents along the way!
