All the yarn in our Yarn Store has been dyed with natural dyes. If you like to start your own natural dyeing journey, we offer a range of Craft Courses. 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 natural dyes.
The craft courses are a hands-on learning experience using ancient natural 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 successfully dye yarn and fabrics with lasting colour to use in your projects at home.
Natural dyes are pigments derived from plants, animals, or minerals and they have been used for centuries to add colour to fabrics, textiles, and other materials. They are typically derived from plants, such as flowers, leaves, roots, and bark, or from insects, such as cochineal. Natural dyes are more environmentally friendly are also often preferred for their unique and varied colour range.
