This Complete Master Class for dyeing yarn at the Allison Barnes Yarn home studio is a 3-session package. Each session is approximately 2 hours.

Based on your experience and preferences, Allison will custom tailor a series of three dye sessions just for you! In each 2-hour block you will have a chance to dye up to four skeins of yarn in any one dyeing method (deep immersion, low immersion, or hand painting). Repeating the method for all four skeins, and practising various dye methods will give you the confidence to further develop your dyeing style at home and build your hand dyeing business.

I’ll also let you in on some of my top secret dye methods and give you suggestions on where you can source dyeing materials.

This class is offered at a discount! Individual 2-hour classes are $400. Get three sessions covering three dye methods for only $1000! That’s a $200 savings!

Please be advised that we are doing standing work for the duration of class. Indoor shoes are recommended. Chairs can be provided if needed while waiting for colours to set.

At the end of each session you will get to take home your dyed skeins of yarn that will still be warm. On your way out you will get a bag to carry your wet yarn to finish rinsing and washing your yarn at home with instructions for drying and basic care.

Class length: ~6 hours total over three days

Private lesson.
