Learn To Handpaint Yarn with Clear Creek Farm
October 24 @ 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Take a trip out to the farm and learn to handpaint wool yarn with Yvonne Ellsworth of Clear Creek Farm in Duvall. She will cover 2-3 different dyeing techniques, including variegated stripes, tonal building of colors, and speckles. Included with the class are 2 skeins of sport weight yarn from Carnation Farms’ own regeneratively-raised flock. You are welcome to bring additional wool yarn or spinning fiber. Yvonne will also have additional yarn available for purchase. If you are interested in dyeing a sweater quantity of yarn during the class, please makes sure to contact us to make sure enough supplies are on hand.
Please note: Dye may get on skin or clothes, so wear clothing that is safe to get dye on. Gloves will be provided, but dye might still get on hands, which washes off after about a day. Also, there will be some downtime during the workshop while dyes set, so bring a project to keep your hands busy!
