Ceallach Dyes: solar dyed yarn for you and the planet

Location:   Outside  Outside Homegrown Village   

Homegrown Village , Sunday 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM


Between crafting and making, there lies an exciting intersection of possibility where yarn and fiber can be dyed using passive solar for the dyeing of the fibers. My dyeing process uses home built solar ovens built from recycled and reclaimed wood and glass which will be on display, minimizes water usage and contamination from chemicals.
