Spinning Tuesdays: Dyeing with Deb Menz

This past weekend I took a 3-day dye class with Deb Menz. I am still recovering. She completely cracked my brain open about dyeing color. I've perused her books   but I find it hard to learn solely from a book, especially about a topic that intimidates me.

This class was intense, 2 full dyeing days and an entire day assembling a 33 page dye book.

Here's a quick photo essay of the class:

Deb talks about process

We had four dyeing stations and Beth let us make a mess

We dyed lots of mini skeins in quart jars

The Spin Doctor interviewed Deb for her podcast

We hung our mini skeins everywhere to dry

Many sample sheets make a book

We went home with 400 different samples to ponder

Deb explains how to use the dye book

Deb told us that she's winding up her days as a traveling teacher. If you get the chance to take a class from her do it, it will be the most exhausting and fulfilling 3 days that you've ever treated yourself to.
