| MACHINE KNITTING TO DYE FOR |
| Fiber Arts Studio |
| Machine Knitting to Dye For offers classes, knit blanks for dyeing, yarn dyeing kits, dyeing supplies, undyed yarns, knitting machines and, hopefully, inspiration to hand knitters, machine knitters, crocheters, felters and weavers who want to create their own self-striping yarns. |
| Why machine knit and dye yarn, only to unravel and knit it again? |
| Dyeing in the fabric, unlike dyeing a skein, produces a yarn with longer repeats of color, which means in turn that a single color can circle the circumference of a sweater or sock many times before merging into a new color or shade. Using this method, we can knit a Fair Isle sweater without disrupting the flow of hand knitting with frequent yarn changes and without having to endure the tedium of securing the ends of separately dyed skeins of yarn. |
Other benefits:
|
| It's easy to knit colorful patterns. |
We offer kits and supplies, classes and workshops to get you started.
