Weekend natural dyeing workshop with Saskatoon Spinners and Weavers Guild Wildcraft Dyeing

28/09/2026

Amazing two-day weekend workshop with the Saskatoon Spinners and Weavers Guild. What an incredible group of curious, kind, talented and welcoming folks. Thank you so much! We also snuck out for some early morning birding and saw the living skies of Saskatchewan alive with geese and even saw whooping cranes! The sunrise over the beautiful rolling prairies was unforgettable. 🌼🍂🪿☀️🧶

When you go rogue and just throw whatever is laying around into a dye pot and achieve the most beautiful gold colour!! Plantain, walnut leaves, onion skins and maybe some bean tree seed pods 😊

Nadine again. Results from dyeing with dogbane, red willow and hawthorn. So pleased with the results.

I think I’m going to gather all the wool I have dyed for this artist grant and have as good friend photograph the dyed wool for me. I think the photo shoot should be in the forest. Lindsay Foreman are you up for the challenge?

Nadine here 🚌

Juniper and plantain in the dye pot today! If my energy allows, Kinnikinnick will go in a pot too. I wish FB could capture the aroma in my home right now! Juniper smells fabulous!

Mental note, make sure you have mordanted wool BEFORE you start the dye pots 😊

Why plantain? I want to make a small medicine pouch made from wool dyed in some of our medicines. This will include arnica, stinging nettle, devil’s club, fireweed and plantain.

For those who attended the workshop today at Child Care Options, here is a video on how to warp your cardboard loom.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Start the car and then start the plane 🙃

Four exclusive colourways for The Scottish Yarn Festival next weekend. Each uses different creative processes to translate the lichen colours into inspiration for yarn. If you haven’t got yourself a ticket, there’s still time. It’s a lovely day out in Perth even if you don’t come to shop. Part of keeping small businesses and local events alive is simply showing up and enjoying yourself. There are lots of nice cafes nearby so something for everyone.
