EKF D.I.Y. YARN DYEING CLASSES ARE BACK!

D.I.Y. is back, y’all! 🌈 After the most wonderful response to our first ever yarn dyeing class last summer, we have decided to bring it back AGAIN in 2025! Additionally, after facing our fears of hosting our first ever yarn dyeing class last summer, we are not only bringing back our original class, but ADDING a Level Two class!!

Sign ups for D.I.Y. Level 1 will open on Sunday, March 16th at 7pm Mountain Time. The team and I are SO excited to hang with y’all at the studio again this summer 💃🏻 let’s dye some yarn together 🌈🧶🎨

What's going on in the Level 2 Class?!

Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s going on with Level 2 - first, you’ll need to take the D.I.Y. Class Level 1 - whether you took it last summer or if you take it this summer the weekend before Level 2 - both work! Next, what are we doing in the class?! This class is going to offer you even MORE creative freedom than our original dye class and your own exclusive D.I.Y. colorway 🥹👩🏻‍🎨🎨 Here’s how it’ll work - once you sign up for the class, I’ll send you a Google Form where you will submit 3-5 photos, creating your very own colorway inspiration board for the class! I’ll also give you a few prompts for the type of colorway you’re looking for - light, rich, dark, moody, low/high contrast etc. etc. and we will work one-on-one prior to the class to get your colorway all set up for you. I’ll take your photos and create 6-8 unique dye steps for you and from there, the colors are YOURS do decide what to do with and how to dye with. The class will be 3 hours long, giving you plenty of time to plan out your colorway AND to give us time to work together if you want more one-on-one help once we’re actually in the studio. I am SO DANG EXCITED about this class and cannot WAIT to both create exclusive color palettes for all of you AND to see what you do with them! These classes will be much smaller in size because I want to make sure I am able to dedicate the appropriate amount of time to every student both before and during the class. I cannot wait, and hope you all are just as excited as I am to go on this creative journey together!!
