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.

Workshop: Create a Hand-Dyed Yarn Advent calendar - 2026 dates

Come and join us on an ADVENTure at the Peak District Yarns Studio! On this workshop, we’ll be getting in the festive spirit and you will create a very unique yarn advent calendar for you or a yarnworthy friend. As well as dyeing the yarn, you will go home with the packaging for your advent calendar, along with another surprise gift, ready for opening when December comes! The advent calendar comprises 25 x 20g mini-skeins. You can also purchase an optional undyed 100g skein (£13) to dye at the workshop to go with your mini skeins - perfect for opening on Xmas Day! Choose a 4-ply Merino Sock yarn, a Merino and Yak sock yarn, or a Merino-nylon double knit yarn for your advent. 500g of yarn are included in the price of this workshop - a set of 25 x 20g mini skeins. Maximum 4 participants per workshop. This is an intermediate-level workshop, and the basics of yarn dyeing are not covered in this workshop. If you are a complete beginner, we recommend you attend the Introduction to Yarn Dyeing workshop before attending this one. This workshop runs from 10.30am to 4.30pm. Teas, coffees and biscuits are provided through the day (let us know on booking of any dietary requirements). Lunch is not provided – you can either bring a packed lunch with you, or pop out to the local shops/cafe to grab something if you prefer. There may be some festive treats for you too! Like most of our workshops, this is a great one to do with your yarnie friends.
