Hands on Dyeing with Weld: A Vibant Yellow

Program Description: In this class at the dye garden we will talk about the best way to prepare your fiber for natural dyeing, how to extract pigment from a plant and how to dye your fiber. We will be dyeing with weld, one of the heritage colors that has been used for thousands of years. It produces a bright, clear yellow that is lovely on its own and also perfect for over-dyeing. We will be sharing weld seeds from our plants for anyone who wants to grow it; you can plant it as late as August for harvesting next year. Everyone will also take home a cotton bandana that they have dyed.

Presenters: Joyce Tromba and Pat Strang, Extension Master GardenerSM volunteers

We request a donation of 10 dollars to cover our cost. Cash is appreciated.
