Delve into the world of Viking-era dye work. In this class, you will recreate dyes that the Norse would have used � rusty red, brilliant blue, soft purples, sunny yellows, and mossy greens � based on archeological evidence. You will learn to prepare dye baths, mordant fibers, modify colors, and identify dye plants.

Students will receive eight 25-yard skeins of yarn to dye, enough to create a project. This introductory class will also discuss ethical harvesting, ways to modify colors, and sources for further exploration.

Registration includes: Instruction, yarn, and dyes (value $20). By the end of class, you will go home with about 200 yards of wool in a variety of colors, and the knowledge to dye additional fiber!

This class is for adults and youth ages 12+. Youth must be accompanied by a paying adult.
