What materials and equipment do you need to dye your own yarn?

I love dyeing my own yarn and fiber. In many areas of my life, I’m not the most precise person. I’m a bit sloppy and probably a little difficult to live with sometimes. But when it comes to dyeing my tapestry yarns or fiber for spinning, I love using measurement and a little math to create custom colors.

I have a new online class this summer all about dyeing with acid wool dyes. If you’ve ever wanted to dye your own yarns, create unique palettes, or just get colors that commercial yarn lines don’t contain, dyeing the yarn yourself is the way to go.

Simple Procedures. Reliable Results.

The video below outlines a simple dye set-up. I talk about what equipment and materials you’d need for a simple dye kit. I go over each item in much more detail in the course. If you’re getting the blog via email, please view the video on YouTube HERE.

There is a lot more information about the dye class on my website HERE including the course trailer and other videos.
