Dying To Start Dyeing? Raising, Processing and Marketing Wool – Winter Webinar

Farms can grow more than food; they can also grow fiber. If you have sheep, you have wool! That means you also have an opportunity to tap into renewed interest among farmers and consumers alike in fiber arts and natural textiles, particularly the art and practice of natural dyeing. In this webinar, Emily Tzeng discusses the value chain for wool, the benefits and potential difficulties of producing natural-dye crops, and ways to market these items. Tune in to learn how small-scale farms can add value to their wool by processing the fibers into roving, yarn and finished goods and by dyeing those products.
