We are based in the rural, north Pembrokeshire countryside near to Newport in Pembrokeshire and Cardigan in Ceredigion. If you are visiting Pembrokeshire on holiday, make your visit a craft holiday with a natural dyeing craft course at FelinFach - go to all natural dyeing craft courses
All our Craft Courses in Wales are held in our purpose designed Dye Studio in Pembrokeshire. There's plenty of parking and six workstations to accommodate six students with room to spare.
Learn how to hand dye protein fibres (animal fibres such as sheep wool, alpaca, yak and silk) or cellulose fibres (plant fibres such as cotton, linen, hemp and bamboo) using the traditional natural dyes. These craft courses are a hands on learning experience using ancient dyes such as Madder, Weld, and Cochineal, to name a few, in their natural form as well as extract. You will leave with the knowledge to dye yarn and fabrics with lasting colour successfully to use in your projects at home.
There is a beauty and depth of colour to natural dye that becomes more beautiful with age. These courses opens the door to that world of colour and you will be amazed at the colours you will be able to produce using Nature and a little knowledge!
We are based in the SA37 post code in Pembrokeshire, Wales. All workshops are held in the purpose designed FelinFach Dye Studio. The sat Nav postcode takes you to a farm one mile away, so is not that helpful!! The exact location, with directions and a map will be provided well in advance of each workshop.
If you want to try Natural Dyeing to see if it’s right for you, need to refresh the basics or just don’t have the time to fit in a whole day, then our short Natural Dye sessions may be the answer - Natural Dyeing Half Day 'Taster' Courses.
All the yarn and scarves for sale on this website have been hand dyed with natural dyes by the Tutor of these craft courses and workshops - Hand Dyed Yarn - Hand Dyed Scarves. See Feature in The Knitter magazine on hand dyeing and craft courses in the FelinFach Dye Studio - Click here...
