May Program Natural Dyeing by Donna Brown

DYEING TO KNIT AND WEAVE WORKSHOPS

Instructor: Donna Brown

Friday, May 20, 2011 or Saturday, May 21, 2011, Time: 10 - 5

At: Table Rock Llama Fiber Arts Studio

Maximum class size*: 10

Fee: $70 - this amount includes Donna’s instructional fee and yarn preparation and the materials fee for dyes and handouts

Signup Deadline: May 3, 2011

Natural dye extracts are increasing becoming popular due to their safety, ease of use, and environmentally friendly characteristics. Because extracts completely dissolve in water they are perfect for knitting, weaving, and warp painting projects. Learn about the extracts while coloring yarn for your next fiber projects. Any pro-tein (silk & wool) or cellulose (cotton, rayon, tencel) natural fiber yarn can be used. Prior to the workshop you will prepare your yarn to dye ( up to 3 lbs.) - for knitting making skeins and for weaving measuring warp chains or skeins for weft yarns and then washing/and or scouring the yarn. This workshop covers different methods of natural dyeing; immersion methods for solid or variegated yarn and painting yarns for variegated color. A mordanting step is necessary in order to natural dye. Donna will get the yarns for the workshop on May 13th after the PPWG program and mordant them for the two workshops on May 20th and 21st. This will be a fun filled day exploring natures color wheel.

Donna Brown is a fiber ar st with degrees in Tex le Chemistry, and Clothing and Tex les, and she will be presen ng a program on natural dyeing. 

A natural dye expert and teacher of natural dyeing and artcloth; she is Natural Dye sales representa ve and ongoing natural dye instructor for Table Rock Llamas and Fiber Arts Studio, in Black Forest Colorado. She is also the natural dye instructor Shu le, Spindles, and Skeins in Boulder, Colorado. Teaching across the United States in venues such as Penland School of Cra , John C. Campbell Folk School, fiber fes vals including the Estes Park Wool fes val, 2003 Surface Design Associa on conference, 2002 Color Congress, she loves to share her knowledge and passion for natural dyes. [From Table Rock Llamas website, used with permission]

MAY WEAVING SAMPLE BY DOTTIE WEIR ANGLE OF THE TWILL: STEEP VS. RECLINING WOVEN SHIBORI

WEAVING: Ordinarily, when twill is woven in the tradi onal manner as a balanced weave, the angle of the di-agonal line will be about 45 degrees.  When weaving shibori there are several plain weave picks inserted between each pa ern thread re-sul ng in an increased angle of the twill. 

Twills may be reclined by skipping pa ern trea-dles in the sequence.  Reclining a twill is an effec-ve way of controlling the angle of twill pa erns 

for woven shibori.  It causes the dyed pa ern to break apart slightly, while the integrity of the original dra  is maintained.   

Resource:    Woven Shibori by Katherine Ellis, Page 49 – Figure 12 

Se :  24 EPI, 12 dent reed, 2 per dent , 600 ends, 25” wide on the loom,  

Warp:  10/2 Tencel @ 4200 ypp 

We :  #12 Bamboo @ 6300 ypp and other yarns changed during the weaving (green, blue, purple space dyed com-mercial yarn by Silk City.)  

DYEING: Warp was dyed before beam-ing using a 15 step color wheel exercise in the book “Dyeing to Quilt” by Joyce Mori and Cynthia Myerberg, page 38, “Recipes for 15 step color run”.  I used red to blue when I dye painted, but did not use the pure hue of red or blue.  Dye used was Procion MX Fiber Reac ve .. Medium Blue and Carmine Red. 

A er the weaving was pulled up  ghtly, then it was dyed using Vat Dye in Black for 2 minutes.  Then the sup-plementary threads were pulled out and the fabric washed, dried and ironed.

May Spinning Sample by Gretchen Kantor Silk: no. Bamboo: no. Flax: no. Llama or alpaca (let alone Paco-vicuna): no. Everybody else’s samples have stood out not only for how beauti-fully spun they were, but also for their being spun of some “exotic” (at least to me) fiber and, usually, for a purported use. I can’t even tell you where my plain old sheep’s wool came from, or what breed it was, or how I wanted to spin it or why. That’s because I am a “demonstrator” spinner. Spinning, for me, is a group activity. I’ve taken lots of spinning classes, Norman Ken-nedy and Mabel Ross included. Both disap-proved of my lack of ability; Mabel left me in tears often during those 2 dreadful days. She kept saying, “It’s not the wheel’s fault, it’s the spinner’s, so don’t take it out on the wheel.” As it turned out, it was (at least partly) the wheel’s fault—but then again, Herman, my Ashford Traditional had come from dry South Africa, which he adored, and was now trying to cope with the humidity of Ohio. George played doctor and Herman was again a happy wheel. Oh, yeah—spinning classes (post Norman and Mabel)…I always have fun and do what the teacher wants and think I’d like to keep at a technique till it comes easily and becomes a true skein. But, I always slip seamlessly back into my comfort zone be-cause I can spin and explain at the same time

So, I don’t really enjoy sitting alone and spinning for a supposed project—that would require concentra-tion. Spinning, for me, is a selfish activity, like reading or doing Sukoku or putting a puzzle together. So, I selfishly like to spin gorgeous colored roving, just to see what it will look like, all the while demonstrating and telling stoppers-by what I’m doing. So, I’ll do the same to you:

I (very over-) spun a grey singles: actually I like it a lot because it’s wavy, like a person’s curly hair. Then I plied it back on itself for a 2-ply grey skein. It even hangs straight! While that was lying around, I found this roving in a little shop on the “green” in Taos, behind the main drag. It was dip-dyed bright yellow- green, navy blue, dark brown, and a yellow-earth ochre color. Loved the first 2 colors. Hated the last 2.

So, a challenge! I repeated the grey spinning with the colored roving, trying to get a reasona-bly long repeat of each color, but not trying to match the colors in the 2-ply. Too much work! But, I had a lot of each singles left over, so….plied them together. Well, which skein do you like best? Much to my chagrin, most people liked the “heathered” effect. I prefer the boldly colored one, barber-shop pole and all! It’s the interplay of those strong colors in the ply that I like, each combination creating a new sensorial sensation of color.

President’s Notes by Beverly Weaver We had a great workshop and meeting in April. I would like to thank Sandy Hutton and Sally Kuhn for all the work they did to bring in Michael Rohde for the workshop and the April program. The membership agreed at the April meeting to change the PPWG by-laws to indicate that Board members should abide by Colorado State Law concerning ethical conduct and conflict of interest. State and Federal regulations recommend that all non-profit 501(c)3 corporations adopt a Code of Ethics and a Conflict of Inter-est Policy. After the April meeting the PPWG Board members were asked to approve both of these docu-ments by email. Both the Code of Ethics and Conflict of Interest Policy were approved by the majority of the PPWG Board. Consequently they have been adopted and are now posted on the PPWG website. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the May meeting. Donna Brown will give a program on natural dyeing, we will have the drawing for the library fund, and bags will be judged for the Northern Lights bag challenge. The May meeting is considered to be the ‘annual meeting’ for the guild, and officers and commit-tee chairs will be selected for the upcoming year. We would like to see as many members as possible in at-tendance.

Is it possible that May is upon us? April showers bring May flowers, so it is said. They also bring the arrival of the PPWG Northern Lights Study Group's bag challenge which will take place at the May guild meeting. During the Northern Lights April meeting, the group shared a sneak preview of bags made by its members and all are looking forward to stiff competition from other members of PPWG. Prize ribbons have been handwoven for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Honorable Mention. In addition, an excit-ing array of prizes that include several gift certificates will be awarded for each of the foregoing. Priz-es can and may also be awarded at the Judges' discretion for: Best use of Color Best use of hand dyed materials Best use of handspun Best use of recycled materials The Wackiest

“Spinning A Good Yarn” Fall Spinning Workshop with Peggy Doney Spinning is telling a story with the texture, crimp, luster, and colors of fiber. This workshop goes beyond an introduction to a variety of artisan spinning techniques to exploring the ways a yarn’s characteristics interact. We will · Mix colors and textures while learning how to create art batts using drum and hand carders. · Blend and spin various percentages of fibers. · Learn to leverage the unique character of less-than-perfect fibers to spin “straw into gold.” · Discover how to make a yarn that is tailored to the fiber’s crimp. · Explore how color is used in creating a yarn, as we paint with fiber. · Use beads, Angelina, silk, metallic thread & other goodies to give our batts and yarns sparkle.

We are now taking sign-ups for this workshop. We will be opening the registration for this work-shop outside of the PPWG after the May meeting. So, if you want to sign up for this wonderful learning experience, please do so before the end of the May meeting. The workshop will be held at Table Rock Llamas on September 16, 17, 18 (Friday-Sunday). I believe the hours will be 9:00 am to 4:00 pm each day, but will have more details later. We are estimating the cost of the workshop to be $125-$150 dollars. If you are interested in signing up please fill out the form below and send it with your deposit check of $60 (made out to PPWG with “spinning workshop” in the memo section). De-tails are on form below. If you would like to sign up via email please contact Heidi Bates or Cheryl Riniker. We will still need to receive a signed copy of the participant agreement with your deposit.

Sample Schedule We need volunteers for weaving, dyeing, and spinning samples for the newsletter. Hopefully we will always have a weaving, spinning, and dyeing sample for each newsletter. As you can see there are still some holes left in the sign up sheet. If we don't have volunteers, then we won't have samples that month. If you would like to volunteer, please let sample chairperson know.

For weaving, we need two (2) samples (6” x 6” minimum, 8” x 10.5” maximum). For spinning we need two (2) samples which need to be butterflies approximately 4 yards long. The two (2) dyeing samples may be on fiber or handwoven cloth. So the size of the sample will depend on the media.

The newsletter editor needs digital photos of the sample for the newsletter. Please save the photos in .jpg format and e-mail them to editor@pikespeakweavers.org. If you do not want to take the digital photos yourself, please give or send the samples to the newsletter editor to take the photos. Please contact the newsletter editor to make ar-rangements for the photos.

Your weaving, spinning, and dyeing descriptions need to be given, mailed, or emailed to the newsletter editor, at (editor@pikespeakweavers.org). The sample chairperson will print the descriptions from the newsletter for the sample notebooks in the library. If you have other information for the sample notebooks, please give it to the sample chairperson at a meeting.
