Plant dyed knit bag workshop

17th & 18th of August 2024

Välitila Studio, Helsinki

with natural dye artist Enni Heinä and fiber artist Riikka Peltola

WORKSHOP PROGRAMME

Sat 17th: with Enni’s instructions we will dye recycled wool yarns with a selection of plants to create your own color palette 

Sun 18th: Riikka will instruct a variety of knitting patterns and techniques to create your own bag. We will begin the knitting process in the workshop.

You can choose between three designs created by Riikka & Enni, or you can make your own variation based on the techniques used. We will guide you through the design process. 

All participants are provided with recycled wool yarn enough for a small sized tote bag or a zipper purse. There will be a selection of dye plants to choose your colors: browns, reds, yellows and olive greens.

The skill level of the workshop is beginner/basic. We wish that you are familiar with knit and purl stitches, flat knit and circular knit. Prior experience in natural dyeing is not needed. All the materials and equipment are provided.
