   Indigo dyeing is by far my favourite method of dyeing fibre. When I lived in Vancouver I had a back yard (above) where, in the Spring and Summer seasons, I'd always have a large indigo vat (and invite friends over to join as you can see). In the Fall and Winter I took over the laundry room; so needless to say I always had one around. In Montreal our apartment does not allow for such luxuries, so I'm super excited that when I leave the Arctic in two weeks I will be visiting Gibsons for a month where I will have a yard to play/dye in. YAY!
I'm also having a dye day in a yarn shop while I'm there! So I'd like to invite any of you who are interested in learning about the magical process of indigo dyeing to join me at Unwind Knit & Fibre Lounge where I'm holding a one-day workshop on Sunday June19th. Participants will leave the workshop with the knowledge AND materials/supplies to begin their own in-home indigo vat. We will also be exploring the fascinating Japanese art of shibori which will achieve beautiful texture and design on your indigo-dyed cloth. Intro to Indigo and Shibori instructor Janna Maria Vallee Sunday June 19th, 2011 9am-5:30pm Unwind Knit & Fibre Lounge 1161 Sunshine Coast Hwy Gibsons, BC Call Unwind! 604 886 1418 www.unwindknitandfibre.ca
