What are we going to do?
FRIDAY
We'll gather at 17.00 with a meet and greet chat at the farm, presenting the location and our project with local appetisers and drinks.
Our lab will be open for shopping and to get the yarn to be used in the workshops, we'll dive into our studio to see where our beauties are prepared, to have a look and a touch, or more than one perhaps - we'll prepare a selection of all our yarns for the occasion.
SATURDAY
At 9,30 the first workshop will start until around 13.00
We'll then have a delightful lunch on the terrace, with some delicious local dishes.
Refilled with energies we'll start the second workshop until around 17.00
Then, we'll head to the pastures next to the farm and take a pause knitting in peace among the cute goats, sipping tea and relaxing.
Dinner altogether will take place at a local place nearby at 20.00, where we'll spend a relaxing and knitting evening.
SUNDAY
Our last day will start meeting at the farm around 9.30
We'll spend the morning with the conclusion of the workshops,, some knitting time in the terrace and coffee break with delicious local cakes.

We recommend that all yarn is washed by hand. This ensures it’ll be beautiful for as long as possible and will wear well. When you’ve finished your project, dunk it in a sink of lukewarm water – with a no rinse wool wash if that takes your fancy, leave it to saturate for a while, then roll it up in a towel to squeeze out excess water and pin out flat to dry.
As with all textiles and all yarn, sometimes colour can come out. It can be caused by a difference in the water ph used to wash the item, detergents, or an over-saturation of dye that hasn’t quite finished rinsing out.
All of our hand dyed yarn is rinsed by hand in the sink, and each batch is soaked, then individual skeins are rinsed to make sure no colour bleeds. This isn’t foolproof though, and occasionally skeins in darker colours can bleed a little. In case it happens simply put your yarn or finished item in a pan (that you won’t use for food), add water and a generous glug or vinegar or citric acid, and then slowly bring up to heat. It should be simmering but not boiling. Then turn the heat off, put a lid on the pan, and leave it – ideally overnight. You should find that the water is now clear, and all that remains is to rinse your yarn. If the water isn’t quite clear, rinse it anyway – much like with hair dye, there can be excess dye which needs to run off.
