Bright Colors on Wool! Acid Dyeing Step‑by‑Step Fiber Arts in Moab: Acid Dyeing Wool Process

Описание: Wool Videos,    • The Wool Works  

Welcome back to Too Many Crafts, where artisan traditions meet modern creativity! In this episode, I take you through the complete process of acid dyeing wool, showing how raw fiber can be transformed into brilliantly colored material ready for spinning, felting, or weaving. 🌈
We begin with Gotland wool sourced from Wind Dance Ranch in Ellensburg, Washington. Wind Dance Ranch is known for its dedication to raising Gotland sheep with care, sustainability, and a commitment to preserving this rare breed. Their wool is prized for its luster, strength, and dye‑friendly qualities, making it the perfect canvas for vibrant acid dyes.
Step by step, I’ll demonstrate how to prepare the wool, mix the dyes, apply color evenly, and rinse the fibers to lock in those bold shades. Along the way, I share tips for achieving consistent results, experimenting with color blends, and making the most of your fiber for future projects.
📍 Filmed in Moab, Utah, this video reflects both my passion for fiber arts and my connection to local identity. Too Many Crafts is all about celebrating creativity, storytelling, and the joy of working with natural materials — whether it’s spinning, dyeing, carding, leatherwork, or lapidary.
