Colour me happy

Get togged up in your old clothes ready for a fun, friendly day out hand-dyeing at Black Sheep Wools in Cheshire! Work in natural dyes on 21 September, when dye expert Debbie Tomkies will show you how to mordant (fix) fibres, and dye luscious, solid shades. You can also try your hand at rainbow dyeing and colour blending. In the advanced workshop on 26 October Debbie will take you through cake dyeing, speckles, veils, ombrés and gradients, colourway planning, colour-matching and basics of colour theory. Then, on 10 November, Debbie is running a synthetic hand-dye workshop, including yarn painting, semi-solid dyeing, immersion and rainbow dyeing. We’re excited! Workshops 10am–4pm, £65 each, www.blacksheepwools.com
