Dyeing wool with plants or mushrooms

A practical workshop (minimum 4 hours) covering traditional dyeing techniques.

Equipment and auxiliary chemicals are provided, and dye plants can be supplied if needed. Participants can bring their own wool or purchase it.

Dyeing is ideally done over an open fire but can also be done using electric burners during fire warnings. The site must have access to plenty of water.
