Join Us For a Day of Serendipitous Dyeing: Mark Your Calendars! We are planning a fun filled day of learning to do Serendipitous Dying (Painting with Dyes). We will learn the basics of dyeing protein fibers and will have the opportunity to actually dye several ounces of yarn or fiber under the guidance of Kay McCoy from The Shepherd's Mill & Great Plains Artisans. You are invited to bring your own protein yarn or fiber or purchase some of ours at wholesale prices. All supplies will be provided and a box lunch will be included in the price of the workshop. There is limited space, so please register soon. 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
