Course reviews
I really loved the whole experience of dyeing roving. I had no idea what to expect because I am a complete novice. Some things went over my head (the more technical terms) but I very much enjoyed the two methods of dyeing that you showed us. I just love the two pieces of roving that I came away with. Very beautiful, some of the effect is like velvet!

Although I had done some dying of yarn before
the workshop I had not been successful not felting fiber while dying.
After the workshop I had two good techniques to work with fiber that had
not felted while using merino. I was able to play with a color
combination I had been thinking about. I received numerous tips on
equipment, and strategies to use. This was time well spent and a great
value considering small class size, your right in an active studio and have a
great teacher.
