Workshop: Derbyshire Dye Camp - 2026 Dates

Crazy about colour? Previously attended a dyeing workshop at Peak District Yarns? Really got the dyeing bug? Come and learn advanced techniques, and hang out with Carrie in her dye studio for three full days, with an optional fourth day were you have the dye studio to yourself for self-guided learning (but Carrie will be on hand to answer any questions you have!) The content of Dye Camp is shaped around what participants wish to learn, but typically includes experimenting with a range of yarn dyeing techniques; how to get the best dyeing results from luxury yarns (yak, camel, alpaca etc); colour mixing; dyeing sock blanks; establishing a yarn dyeing business; and generally playing with colour in the Dye Studio. The total cost of the three-day Dye Camp is £495, plus £50 for the optional 'self-guided' learning day should you wish to add that on. Dye Camps typically run on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday with the optional fourth day on the Thursday, Friday or Saturday of the same week. Two Dye Camps are scheduled for 2026, but other dates can be added if there is sufficient interest. Please get in touch to discuss options. Ten skeins of yarn are included in the price of the 3-day Dye Camp, and you can purchase more during the week if you want to try other bases whilst you're here. Maximum of 3 participants per workshop. We keep class sizes very small so that there can be a lot of time for individual instruction and guidance.
