Join us as we recreate natural dyes and dye recipes of the 18th century to achieve a spectrum of dazzling colors. We experiment with colors every time the fires are lit, so each recipe is different. Fabrics, yarns, and fibers will change before your eyes. You might see the wool of our own Leicester Longwool sheep taking on new hues.
Weather permitting.
