Course Description:Goldenrod is a native plant that grows abundantly at the East 40, and the workshop will begin on Friday with sustainably harvesting goldenrod! Goldenrod yields a bright, often light yellow. Fabrics can be left in the dye pots overnight, to soak up the maximum amount of color. On Saturday, we will utilize several methods to deepen and or change the color obtained from the goldenrod alone. There will be a fresh goldenrod dye pot-“double dipping” is a good thing with natural dyes-to deepen the color, an onion skin dye pot, and the option of after-dye treatment with a water/vinegar bath that has been steeped in copper to shift the color.
Every participant will receive a “goody bag” with a yard of silk gauze, a 10 yard skein of “Stunning” superwash Merion Wool yarn, an organic cotton 27” square tea towel, an organic cotton 16” square hankie/bandana, a bamboo rayon 11” x 60” scarf, and sample/test swatches of the same bamboo rayon used in the scarf and silk charmeuse. All of these have been prepared by scouring and mordanting with natural materials, and so are ready to dye.
