Flower & Fibre Natural Dye Events at Long Way Homestead. These are hands-on experiential workshops accessible to anyone (no skill level required).
These workshops are NOT intensive natural dye workshops - however, you will be equipped with basic natural dye skills. Dye day workshops will include more than just dyeing yarn, learn about our dye gardens, and why breed matters when it comes to dyeing fibre.
