One of the downsides of running a mail order business is that you rarely get to meet your customers which is why we try to get out and about as much as possible.

We will be at all the events listed below with as much of our product range as we can carry so please come along and say hello. If you are coming to any of these events and would like us to bring something specific from our catalogue please contact us. It's always good to save the postage!

Hand dyeing workshops

Our easy-going, exciting workshops take you through how to prepare fibres and yarns for dyeing and cover the basics of colour theory. Click here to find out more about the workshops that are booking now

You will have lots of fun experimenting with a range of easy, fun techniques and each participant will make some gorgeous hand dyed fibres or yarns which they can take home. We also bring along lots of supplies for those who want to take their experiments further after the workshop.

Debbie Tomkies from DT Craft & Design runs hand dyeing workshops using natural dyes including Earthues and Hue & Dye natural dye extracts as well as synthetic dyes including Procion and Kool Aid. If you would like to take part in one of our workshops in Sale, Cheshire or would like us to run a workshop for your Guild, college or group please contact us for more details

Did you know?

I teach a wide range of workshops on dyeing, knitting and crochet and am happy to travel to your group, Guild, school or college to teach a subject - or combination of subjects - of your choice.

I can also bring my "travelling shop" with a wide selection of our products to your meetings. I am available to teach evening classes/regular classes for colleges.
