Call for Dye Day Like Red? This is Your Day There are still openings for the 2016 Dye Day to be held on May 21!! This is a special opportunity to learn from one of the best independent dyers in Northern California using natural dyes. If you have ever had the pleasure of spinning the yummy fibers of Dreamy Goat Fibers , you will understand how special this day will be. Both Mary Finley and Roger Salter of Dreamy Goat Designs will be leading activities on this day.   Mary will be teaching us to dye using cochineal bugs to get gorgeous reds in different shades and Roger will be demonstrating and leading you in color blending on a carder or blending board.  Two workshops run simultaneously!! The guild is subsidizing about half the cost of this day (out of Winery proceeds) and there is a small registration fee of $25. Sign up by contacting Pam Murdock at pemurdock@comcast.net . You will receive further information once you register. This registration is limited to 30 participants,...
