Hybrid Program starts at 7 p.m.

Are you curious about hand dyed yarns but not sure how to use them? Do you struggle to pick the right project for your hand dyed yarns? This lecture is for you! Indie dyer and shop owner Ana Campos will talk about different styles of hand dyed yarns, how to use color theory to select the right yarn for your projects, how to manage pooling, and how to purposefully control pooling. Ana Campos was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and now makes her home in the Witch City (Salem, Massachusetts). She is a founding member of Vogue Knitting's Diversity Advisory Council and is committed to increasing equity and access in the fiber world. As a teacher she strives to empower her students to create pieces they love.
