That was a very fun but very tiring day. Imogen's first Youth Guild workshop, along with 9 other girls and wow did they have some fun with colour. Here are some pictures of Imogen and her day's work dyeing yarn skeins, yarn balls and a silk scarf ... (other yarns and scarves by the other members but no pictures of them)
Waiting for the day to begin
Lots of lovely dyes
Let the fun begin ...
Injecting colour into mini skeins - red and yellow make?

then they dyed some yarn in balls and steamed them
washed and spun ready to skein

Imogens yarns and scarf drying in the breeze
(minus one ball of wool still cooking)
Here they all are once home and all dry, don't they look fantastic? I am so proud of how well she did, being the youngest in the group but she picks things up well and has an eye for creativity.
Scarf and skeins all dry
Lovely skeins of hand dyed yarn
A wonderful day full of colour, new friends and high spirits.
