Sock dyeing class

Learn to dye the sock yarn of your dreams in a creative and supportive setting. No experience necessary-- come and play in the dye pots! 

Class includes:

• setting goals/ choosing your sock colour scheme
• creating your colours using pre-mixed dye stocks
• low-water immersion dyeing to create complex colour

Class size: four people maximum

Class fee: $55 ($40 instruction fee + $15 materials) includes instruction, materials for dyeing one skein of sock yarn.  If time allows, you may dye an additional skein of yarn ($15/ additional skein).

You supply: 

• If you wish, a pair of dishwashing gloves in your size.  These should not be used for anything related to food once you've used them for dyeing.  You're also welcome to borrow a pair from the studio, if you don't mind re-using gloves.

• Work clothes/ old clothes or an apron that you don't mind getting spattered with dye.  Some folks are pretty neat when dyeing; others are quite messy.  Either way, there's a possibility that your shirt, pants, or shoes could get spattered with dye. For safety, I recommend that you wear close-toed shoes.
