Discover the magic of botanical color in this hands-on bundle dyeing workshop with Hanna the Wool Witch. Using dried flowers and natural dye materials, you’ll explore how different fibers absorb and hold color—comparing animal and plant fibers through direct experimentation.

In this workshop you’ll:

  • Learn the fundamentals of botanical bundle dyeing
  • Explore how flowers create different colors and patterns on animal and plant fibers
  • Practice arranging and wrapping techniques for strong botanical imprints
  • Steam and reveal your finished dyed pieces

Each participant will create and take home:

  • A skein of locally sourced alpaca and wool blend yarn from Integrity Alpaca
  • A skein of 100% cotton sashiko thread.

Through the dye process, you’ll see firsthand how protein and plant fibers respond differently to botanical color. You’ll leave with finished dyed materials and the confidence to continue experimenting with botanical dyeing at home.

No prior dye experience required. All materials provided. Please wear clothes that can handle a little color.

Cost: $125
