Don't Drink the Kool-Aid! Dye with It!
Wed Feb 25, 2026
Nancy Alexander will guide participants in this workshop to learn about fiber qualities, dampening fiber, playing with powder, using a color wheel, learning how to space dye, single color dye, and recording dyeing information so we can try to match what we have already dyed - good luck with that! This is partly demonstration and partly you get to play. Nancy Alexander will provide packets of Kool-Aid in a range of colors.
Limit: 10 people
Cost: $2 please pay at the workshop
You will need to bring:
1. A bit of fiber you want to dye - must be protein-based like wool, silk, dog hair, alpaca, etc. NOT cotton, bamboo, acrylic which are cellulose based.
2. Apron and gloves for safety.
3. A Pyrex glass baking dish or a pot that can hold 2 quarts of water.
4. A notebook, cell phone, or other way to take notes.
5. A plastic bag or container to take home wet fiber.
