Natural Dye

OF THE MONTH
Come on a natural dye journey with Viola Textile Studio! Beginning with some of our favorites - Indigo, Weld, and Cochineal - we are working our way through the color wheel month-by-month, dyeing both yarn and fabric. On top of that, we will teach you different Shibori techniques for making beautiful patterning on fabric. Each month you will receive a box with everything you need to fully explore the dye of the month. We use only safe dyes and mordants, so everything we send you will be home, family, and pet friendly. This is a perfect way to build up a natural-dyed stash of fabric and yarn for those who sew, knit, crochet & weave. 

​Each month you will receive:
  • The dye-of-the-month and any necessary mordants, which help the dyeing process.
  • Shibori tools for patterning.
  • A silk scarf & a cotton bandana to dye with the month's shibori technique.
  • Silk, wool & cotton fabric for dyeing swatches and record-keeping.
  • Record-keeping sheet to document dye swatches.
  • A link to the month's video tutorials.
  • A video conference on zoom to have any questions answered and to have a chance to share your dye experiences with our online community.
​The cost is $65/month, and includes shipping. You are welcome to cancel at any time.

​The month you join will be your first kit - to purchase previous months, please email violatextiles@gmail.com.
