Join us for a special two part, yarn-tastic workshop with Sara Ingle of Boston Fiber! Using vegetables, flowers, and materials you keep in your kitchen, students will work to naturally dye wool yarn. Participants, ages 4–10, will take home their yarn to dry along with instructions for future yarn-dying projects, like weaving, making pompoms or knit wearables! Following our Yarn Workshop Part 1, participants will join our Yarn Workshop Part 2 and create a final woven art piece!
