Unleash Your Creativity: Join Our Yarn Dyeing Adventure!
Are you ready to take your yarn crafting to the next level? Look no further! Our upcoming Yarn Dyeing Course is the perfect opportunity to explore the vibrant world of hand-dyed yarns and unleash your inner artist. In this blog post, we'll dive into what our course offers, the benefits you'll gain, and why you should join us on this colorful adventure.
How It All Started: my Yarn Dyeing Journey
I remember when I started to dye about 5 years ago. I bought a ton of yarn, dyes, books and some other supplies to get me started. I had a couple close friends that I could call on to help me figure out some things. But it was still a journey. I still messed up. I still dyed beautiful yarn and had no idea how the heck to recreate it. I’ve created a lot of beautiful yarn over the years, some of it great and some of it not so great. Regardless of the resources I had, it wasn't enough and I wish I had someone to hold my hand a little more through that process. Don’t get me wrong! I’m happy for the mess up’s, they create character and growth. But, who doesn’t want an easier way of figuring this whole process out?
That is where this yarn dyeing course came from. I want to make this process easier for you and give you the tools so you can start dyeing your own yarn. It could be for your business or it could just be for yourself. I support it all.

I don’t see anywhere to actually join the class in your emails or blog.
I’m very excited to learn more about this class and have been since the first email, but when are we going to get details about how to actually register, how much it costs, etc.?
