Alpaca & Llama fibre comes in a range of beautiful natural colours; however both white and coloured fibre can be dyed to produce a never ending range of beautiful colours.

Often dyeing fibre, yarn or a finished product is the only to achieve the colour that you desire.

In this workshop we will:

• Explore both cold and hot water dyes for protein (animal) fibres
• Make many samples of dyed alpaca & llama.  Each sample will be small (around 50 gm, but large enough to be usable)
• Learn about basic colour theory
• Learn to use colour wheels
• Dye various fibres – alpaca, llama, wool, silk
• Dye yarn & fabric
