First...
 
Dipping Sunset

The Hand-Dyeing Workshop is a dizzying spin round the color wheel that you can enter into anytime at any color and go in any direction.   Our curriculum describes the step-by-step process (with plenty of photos) of hand dyeing yarn with in large stainless kettles on propane burners as we do here on the farm.

With the information provided you can dye as we do using smaller pots on a stove top using utensils that you have in your kitchen. 
Along with tricks-of-the-trade that I've picked up hand dyeing yarn on the farm, I share sources on where to buy natural dyes & dyeing utensils.  Plus, we will be available anytime for questions via email about your dyeing projects.
