Yarn Dyeing - Upcycling with Jarrad

$110.00

Turn your yarn “oops” into something beautiful! 🌈🧶

Have you ever dyed a skein of yarn and thought, “That’s not quite what I was hoping for?” Or perhaps you have a hand-dyed skein in your stash that just isn’t speaking to you anymore.

Don’t let it sit unloved — bring it along and learn the art of overdyeing with Jarrad!

In this hands-on workshop, Jarrad will guide you through the process of transforming existing yarn by layering new colours over the top to create fresh, exciting and completely unique results. You’ll discover how colour interacts, how to work with what you already have, and how even the most unexpected skeins can become favourites.

When:

Sunday 15th November 2026 - 9am - 12noon

What You’ll Learn

During the workshop, you’ll:

  • Learn the basics of overdyeing yarn
  • Understand how existing colours influence the final result
  • Explore colour choices and layering techniques
  • Learn how to refresh or completely transform a skein
  • Gain confidence to experiment with yarn at home

What to Bring

Please bring:

  • One or two skeins of yarn that you would like to overdye
  • Your yarn must be made from natural fibres, such as wool, alpaca, silk.

Please note: Synthetic fibres, including acrylic and polyester, will not absorb the dyes used in this workshop and are therefore not suitable.

If you’re unsure whether your yarn is suitable, feel free to contact us before the workshop.

Come Give Your Yarn a Second Chance!

Overdyeing is a wonderful way to breathe new life into yarn that hasn’t quite turned out as planned.

Bring your forgotten skeins, embrace a little creativity, and discover how colour can transform your stash into something you truly love.
