The Jackson County Green Energy Park in Dillsboro, NC will host a one-day natural dye workshop with instructor Cassie Dickson on Saturday, October 2 from 10 am – 3 pm. Students will learn the processes for using native plant and natural materials to dye wool yarns in the colors of red, yellow and blue. Once those colors have been achieved, over-dyeing may be done to create secondary colors like teals, greens, oranges and purples. Participants should bring six ¼ lb. Skeins of yarn made of animal fibers only (silk, wool, angora or a blend of any of these). No yarn made of plant fibers. At the end of the day you will leave with 6 beautifully dyed skeins of yarn and the skills needed to dye at home.
