Hand Dyeing Heaven since 2005!

Hand-dyeing goes virtual – the dye studio transformation is complete

From packing to presenting - and whoosh, the dye studio is tidy!​

Part three of the dye studio transformation into the virtual classroom and demonstration space – the studio is ready to go – lights, camera, action!

So what’s all the fuss about?

What to expect

I’ll be doing demonstrations, Q&As, product reviews and more.

How can I join in?

My first livestream session will take place on 11 April 2020 at 3pm (GMT) on the Facebook Discussion Group which you are welcome to join here. There will be the opportunity (tech permitting!) to ask questions as we go along. The first demonstration will be overdyeing with synthetic dyes. So if you’ve got a skein in your stash that is never going to make it out, tune in and see how you could transform it ready for your next knitting, crochet or weaving project!

There will also be some hand-dyeing demonstration videos that you can find on the website here to watch any time.

Can I ask a question?

Of course! Please feel free to email or message me beforehand and I’ll aim to cover your hand-dyeing questions.

Is it possible to request a particular technique?

Yes, please do! It may not be possible straightaway but I’ll be posting a ‘timetable’ on the website and social media so do keep checking in to see what’s coming up.

Spread the love with a share!

It's Holiday Time!

Last posting dates:

We’ll be posting those stocking fillers and last-minute gifts (we’ve all been there!) for orders placed before 12.30pm on 23rd December. However, last posting date is 21st December so it may be that orders may not arrive in time for the ‘big day’. If you need a last-minute gift or you’re not sure what to get we do have gift vouchers in the shop!

Christmas holiday

As it’s Christmas we are then taking a bit of a break and the shop will be closed until 4th Jan 2026.You may still place orders (simply close this window with the ‘X’ or escape to return to the shop) but we will not start dispatching orders until 4th January.

Thank you!

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for your support and custom this year. Your support for small businesses like ours is very much appreciated.

Last but definitely not least, we wish you all a peaceful and restful festive break and hope to be able to say thank you in person in 2026!

Love, Debbie & Pete xx
