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.

Flower & Fibre workshops include:

Natural Dye Day:

• 1 skein of 100g yarn (worsted or DK) pre mordanted (extra skeins for dyeing available for $15/skein)

• Natural dye stuff (fresh or dried depending on chosen colors)

• Instructional worksheet and hands on help with dye process

• Tour of sheep farm, dye gardens and wool mill
