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.
