Hand Dyeing Heaven since 2005!

See you at Spring into Wool – Leeds this weekend

DT Craft and Design stall at Spring Into Wool, the Grammar School at Leeds

Spring into Wool - 9th and 10th April 2022

Spring into Wool will be our first show of the year and we’re super-excited!

We’ll be bringing all our usual goodies

  • Dyes,
  • Undyed yarns
  • Fixers, mordants & auxiliaries
  • Books
  • Equipment
  • & more!

 

We have some gorgeous new yarns and some new natural dyes as well as our extended range of procion and acid dyes.

And we’ll also be bringing our new food-colour based, ‘good to go’ dyes. With dye and fixer together, just add water and heat! (suitable for protein fibres like wool, alpaca, silk etc.).

Our new Good to Go dyes replace Kool Aid which we are sadly no longer selling. They are a blend of pure dye and citric acid so are great value for money. We’ve have two new kits for you.

Our Knit mitts kit which contains everything you need to make a fab pair of easy, knitted mitts and wristlets. It includes 100g yarn, pattern, Good to Go dyes and full instructions. Just add a pan and water!

Our second new kit is the Magical Rainbows kit. This one has 3 of our Good to Go dyes, dye applicators, funnel and full instructions.

As well as all our goodies we’ll be there to answer your questions and dyeing dilemmas.

And if you’ve made something using our dyes, do bring it along – we love to see your finished projects!

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
