Description:  

color-plan-in-a-pot-dye-workshop-Nancy-Z-Parcels-2022Come join Nancy for an evening of making “MAGIC” in the dye pot and discover the wonders of dyeing wools - without using commercial dyes!

The evening will focus on transferring dye from one fiber to another fiber, using men’s silk ties.

This is a hands-on dye workshop, so everyone will be participating in the dyeing. We will be working with men’s silk ties which have a rich sheen, wide variety of eye-catching patterns, and come in a rainbow of colors. This will include learning how to properly deconstruct the ties, and identifying the tie fiber. We will learn the different methods of silk tie dyeing. The end result will be a piece of patterned and colorful 100% wool – which students will take home with them.

Nancy will share her favorite tips and techniques for creating a color plan in a pot, and students will participate in this step too. She will have finished hooked rugs as examples of how and where to use silk tie dyed wool, for optimum results. There will be plenty of time for question-and-answers, while the wools process in the pots.

A booklet will be provided with detailed silk tie dyeing instructions. The wool samples, created in class, may be added to the booklet as a reference for your future dyeing.

There will also be discussions on dying safety and dying equipment, as well as what works, what doesn’t work, and some resources for setting up your own dye kitchen.

Silk tie dyeing produces beautiful and unique results every time, hence the MAGIC!
