Join renowned dyer Nicole Frost of Frost Yarn for a comprehensive 3-day immersion into the world of yarn dyeing to create stunning, custom colorways for your knitting, crocheting, or weaving projects. This course is designed for both beginners and experienced artists, offering a thorough exploration of every major dyeing technique.
Gain a deep understanding of color theory. Create your own reference library of hundreds of dye color recipes using just primaries. Make a custom swatch book on a knitting machine with several different techniques so you can reverse engineer the dye process to match your knitting, crocheting, or weaving projects.
Learn to dye yarn with confidence and control and match yarn to your vision for a truly personalized outcome.
Day 1: Learn how to dye with precision and repeatability. Make a triad of 66 unique
colors from 3 primary colors, with the option to make a 12 color triad with 3 colors and
a saturation study to learn the difference between a balanced and unbalanced color
story. Then learn how to kettle dye, speckle, and direct application paint for forced
pooling.
Day 2: Learn how to translate an image into a colorway and explore additional
techniques. You will create a resist dyed colorway that moves in multiple directions
simultaneously, one of Nicole's signature techniques. Create a technique study on mini
skeins featuring mohair, alpaca, superwash merino, non superwash merino and silk
yarn. We end day 2 ombre painting pre knit blanks and stenciling artwork over the top
with thickened dyes.
Day 3: Use Nicole's knitting machines to create a swatch library of the different
techniques and create a reference book. The dye lab will be open and Nicole will be
available for student questions, troubleshooting, or to have a free day to play and paint.
