•  Learn to take your fleece or prepared fibers to fabulous light and airy artisan and designer yarns.

•  Participants will make up to six different yarn samples using different spinning techniques plus have lab time to experiment with drum carders, hackle and combs.

•  A set of notes will be included.

•  Participants will learn to perform a triad dye blend and take home 198 different colored yarn samples.

•  Also included is a notebook and normalized recipes. •  This is a good way to make your fiber unique with

your very own color palettes.

•  Peggy Doney has always been fascinated with color since her first box of crayons. After 20 years of home schooling she wondered what to do with all of the left-over chemistry equipment. The answer came after taking a spinning class with a neighbor. Now she enjoys dyeing, spinning, knitting, and silk fusion.

•  Peggy loves teaching and demonstrating; whether it’s spinning or dyeing, one-on-one, an open-house at an historical site, or a multi-day workshop at the Taos Wool Festival.

•  One of her passions has been developing unique color recipes using triad studies and using those formulas as a starting point for matching colors in nature. Because of this precision dyeing, Peggy is now a dyer for Treenway Silks and has been juried into Taos, Estes Park and other fiber festivals.

•  Peggy’s newest venture is dyeing fabric using a number of novel techniques. She knows all the dyeing jokes, has lots of dye pots, and now uses her big box of crayons as one of her reference materials.

•  Peggy makes her home in Colorado Springs with her fiber-enabler husband Jeff and numerous pets whose shedding she doesn’t mind.
