Looking for colour?

If you are looking for something colourful and nice to do on the weekend of May 21/22 and are in Germany, my friend Margit is doing a full-weekend course in dyeing with plants in Cologne.

The course price includes coffee, tea and 400 g of high-quality yarn; in addition, you can bring small amounts of your own yarn, fibre or fabric to dye. If you are quick, you will even be able to get one of the three last reduced-price tickets for only 203 € for the weekend instead of 239 € (which is still a very good price for two full days of dyeing activity).

You can read more about the course and register here at HandHerzSeele.
