Where Hands Create.

Wow, we had such a great Saturday with Doug and Tyler of White Bear Fibers for our Dye Your Own Yarn Workshop!   I think we were all a little timid to start - and then the time flew by and wonderful colors attached to yarn - and I do believe there was magic in the air!   What words cannot describe, I do believe the pictures below will...  You will note some concentration - but then a lot of smiles!

We had two sessions filled with amazing and talented women - and many came with their friend(s)!  I loved that Priscilla just signed up her group and told them they were coming - and they left a quilt event just for the dye workshop!  Doug was our "Dye Master" and taught us the various techniques and the desired effect each would give us - and then gave us the confidence to jump right in to dyeing.   Tyler was our "Dyeista" (think a barista for dye) and ensured that we had our dyes mixed to precision! 

From my perspective this was an amazing and fun day - so much fun that we have already booked Saturday, December 10th as our next Dye Workshop!

Listening to Doug's instructions....
