SOCKS TO DYE FOR
Instructor: Dagmar Klos Surface Design Studio
This is for the knitter who wants custom dyed, multi-colored sock yarn, but is unfamiliar
with the dyeing process. Come and see how fun and easy this can be. We will
be “painting” the colors onto skeins of yarn. Each knitter will bring her/his own wool
(or wool blend) yarn for one or two pairs to be dyed with acid dyes. Dye two or
more colors or dye tone on tone. By the end of class, yarn will be dyed and ready for
knitting that special project that will be envy of other knitters or have a gift for your
favorite knitter. This class is open to all levels.
Supplies: Yarn (protein or protein blend) in skein form, an apron (or wear old clothes),
rubber gloves, plastic bags for transporting wet fiber, plastic wrap such as Glad Cling
Wrap, brushes of assorted sizes (bristle and/or foam). Any questions, contact instructor.

NATURAL DYES - INTRO
Instructor: Dagmar Klos Surface Design Studio
You are interested in natural dyes but not quite sure how to go about – this is the
class for you. Bring some yarn or fabric (must be 100% natural – NO synthetics) and
we will mordant and dye, learning basic techniques. See how easy it can be to pull
color out of natural dyestuff such as marigolds and get it onto your yarn or fabric.
We will also work with dye extracts – another easy technique. Join us as we begin to
explore the world of natural dyes, creating beautiful colors along the way. This class is
open to all levels, no prior dyeing experience necessary.
Supplies: Yarn or fabric (remember no synthetics), an apron (or wear old clothes), rubber

PLY-SPLIT CORD DYE DAY
Instructor: Dagmar Klos Surface Design Studio
This is for those who want to dye their own colors for ply-split projects, but are unfamiliar
with the dyeing process. Come and see how fun and easy this can be. First we
will measure out the cotton to the appropriate length then we will “paint” the colors
onto the cotton. We will steam set the colors. Then you’ll be ready for Michele’s “Twist

This class is open to all levels, but it is suggested that you have prior ply-split experience
before taking the “Twist Ply-Split Cords” class.
