A Verb for Keeping Warm

Mapping Color: Ecoprinting with Plants on Yarn - Saturday, July 15

Sale price$145.00
Coming Soon

In this class, Kristine Vejar, author and co-owner of A Verb for Keeping Warm, will teach you to:

+ Print with flowers and leaves onto a yarn blank using The Modern Natural Dyer as reference.

+ Steps in the natural dyeing process to create long-lasting natural color on wool. 

+ Which plants contain dye, their identifying properties, and where they can be found.

~~~

Eco-printing is a wonderful way to connect with your garden and plants in a whole new way. This captivating technique provides a way to bring your garden everywhere you go and to create yarn that is uniquely yours.

In the yarn class, we will be working with a yarn blank, this is an approx 100g skein of fingering weight wool yarn that has been machine knit into a piece of fabric. Once you are done with the dyeing process, you can knit from the blank. This yarn would be great to knit a pair of socks, a one-skein shawl, or combine with more yarn to create a larger piece. (An eco-printed sock blank as a contrasting color in a yoke sweater would be divine.)

We will meet in the Verb outdoor dye studio and educational dye garden. (Please dress for comfort, crafting, and weather conditions.) There will be a collection of samples from the projects in The Modern Natural Dyer for inspiration. You will leave this class with a series of eco-printed yarn blank and a practical foundation to starting your own eco-printing practice using The Modern Natural Dyer.

~~~

Each student will receive:
+ One sock blank prepared for dyeing (approx 100g / 400 yards, wool content)
+ Dye plants (Flowers will be provided but please feel free to bring flowers from your garden to experiment with.)
+ Thread

    The Modern Natural Dyer is recommended.
