Hand Dyeing with Judy Maclean

Hand Dyeing by Judy Maclean - Sat April 5th 1pm - 5pm

In this workshop you will learn the art of Hand dyeing with renowned fibre artist Judy Maclean of Sweatermaker yarns. You will be dyeing 3 different skeins of yarn. 1 skein of sock yarn (wool, nylon blend) 1 skein of Bamboo Rain ( bamboo, silk, wool blend) and 1 skein of Cashmere silk blend. All the materials are included in the cost of the workshop.

Judy Maclean has been spinning custom yarns for almost twenty-five years. Starting her company Sweatermaker to sell the one of kind sweaters she designed, she became more interested in the dyeing of the yarns themselves. The craft of the spinner and dyer are at the heart of what Judy does, but it is colour and texture that push her yarns and the resulting garments into new areas.
