Why Dye Your Own Yarn?

Raw and natural yarns are a popular choice for dyeing enthusiasts, as they offer a unique and organic look that cannot be replicated with synthetic materials. These yarns are typically made from natural fibres such as wool, cotton, silk, or linen and have not undergone any chemical treatments or processing, making them ideal for natural dyeing methods. By using natural dyes, the yarns retain their inherent qualities and characteristics, resulting in a one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly product.

What You Need to Know Before Dyeing Natural Yarns

When selecting raw and natural yarns for dyeing, it is important to consider the type of fibre used, as different fibres will react differently to natural dyes. For example, wool and silk tend to absorb dyes more readily than cotton or linen, resulting in more vibrant and saturated colours. Additionally, the texture and weight of the yarn can also affect the dyeing process and outcome. Thicker, more robust yarns may require more dye and longer processing times to achieve desired results, while lighter, more delicate yarns may require more gentle handling and shorter processing times.
