Next date: Saturday, 07 November 2026 | 10:00 AM to 02:30 PM

Introduction to Yarn Dyeing

---

A one-day workshop designed to enhance your woolcraft in your own style.

This beginners session introduces you to principles of using acid (chemical) dyes on non-superwash, natural wool yarn.

We explore a range of techniques that produce different styles - semi-solid, variegated, spots, resist, layers - with stovetop, steam and using a bain marie.

Participants create yarns with the Tarndie Beanie pattern as the focus and finish with enough bespoke Polwarth 4ply yarn to create a beanie.

The tutor is Tom Dennis who has been working with Landscapes Dyes on Polwarth wool since 2015 and creates yarns for the Tarndwarncoort woolshop.

It’s a fun day of colourful exploration amongst a deep love of sheep and wool.
