These kits were created for my virtual "Dyeing with Nature" workshop, but you can purchase just the supplies and work on your own with the written syllabus.

In the class, booked seperately, you'll have access to 3+ hours of HD film of process, explanation and demonstration, organized into 14 video sessions. The class is structured so you can take as a week intensive or throughout the month, or longer! Each session requires about an hour or two a day.

The supplies come with a pdf of the class syllabus, so it is possible to create without booking the virtual workshop. But much of the info may be confusing without the visual help, and there is a ton of extra information when you watch the class

For the class you will need a bunch of materials and equipment. But I have listed "necessary" with no marking, "recommended" with a star and "optional" with two stars. Please note that some "on budget" dye stuff options are not lightfast and have a very low saturation of color, but it can be a good place to start! You can always grab better dyes once you have a better grasp on the process.

Both size options come with the same materials, but different amounts. The "Micro Kit" you should be able to dye about 9oz of fiber. The "Mega Kit" about 3 pounds of fiber.

1oz =1 cotton bandana 1lb = 1 yard medium weight fabric
