In this experimental workshop led by textile artist and weaving teacher Sofia Hagström Møller, participants explore colours and colour mixing on cotton and linen yarn. Dyeing is done both by immersing yarn in dye baths and by painting directly onto the yarn, and you can work with values from dark to light or by mixing two or three colours.
The yarn is thin and suited to weaving, and it can also be used as embroidery threads or as accent yarn in knitting. Procion MX dyes are used, which bond to the fibres when kept damp at room temperature for at least eight hours. Ready-made dye baths and yarn to weigh out are provided, and you are welcome to bring your own cotton or linen material. Wool and silk cannot be dyed in this workshop.
