Yarn Dying Workshop in Collins

The best feature in Collins Residence Hall are the different artistic rooms in Brown.  There is a darkroom for photography, a video production room, digital editing room, and many more.  April 7, Collins held a yarn dying workshop.  I was very excited to attend the workshop because I will be taking a weaving workshop next semester.

The yarn was provided and because it was a small group, we got a large amount of yarn.  After bundling our yarn we picked the colors we wanted to dye them.

 We mixed the dye with water and then soaked and cleaned the yarn.  After lying the yarn out, we poured the dye over the places where we wanted the color.

When the yarn is completely covered with dye, it is to be wrapped in plastic wrap.  For the next twenty-four hours the yarn marinates in the dye to lock in the color.
