Kris Jenkins was the instructor for a great full-day workshop at her studio, alk&me, in Northfield Ohio on August 31.
We had six participants scheduled, but unfortunately, two of them cancelled at the very last minute. So we went ahead and dyed their yarn for them.
This was an acid-dye workshop. The skeins we dyed were all sock yarn, 75% wool and 25% nylon from the Knomad yarn company. They only sell wholesale, so you may not have seen their label at your local yarn store, but you may have seen their yarn with labels from indie dyers.
Shelly asked for blues, greys and pinks.
Kris kept us enthralled for six hours. She also got wet and kept us laughing. We had a great time.
Kailey asked for shades of blue.
Some of our yarn just out of the spinner. Subtle differences between Independence Red, Chinese Red, and Poppy Red.
Kris had three pets that were quite at home in the studio.
