Learn to grow your own colour!
In this digital download of an online workshop recording from February 2026, Ria guides you through the range of plants that can be grown for plant powered colour, and suggests ways of growing your own dyes that work with the space you have.
Whether you have a windowsill, balcony, garden, allotment or farm, there are plants suitable for everyone to grow. Ria will discuss plant placement, soil and nutrients, as well as sharing dye samples for each plant to show the range of colours that can be achieved.
Ria will also share plans for the second year of growing natural dyes their North Somerset garden, and show how their previous growing spaces have influenced and informed the new space.
Ria has 8 years experience of growing natural dyes for their business and has a Level 2 qualification in Practical Horticulture from the RHS. They are the author of ‘Dyeing Yarn Naturally’, published by the Crowood Press in 2023.
Here’s what some of the attendees have had to say about this workshop:
5/5 - Ria is an inspirational teacher, her classes provide so much great information. I have bought and planted lots of seeds and will be joining Ria’s SeedtoSkein membership to continue learning.
5/5 - I really enjoyed this workshop, it was very informative without being overwhelming. I now have a better understanding of dye gardens and how to optimise success. I have also signed up for the monthly seed to skein online course. Looking forward learning more.
5/5 - Great presentation, easy ordering, professional support. Recommended!
5/5 - really enjoyed this class. Ria has a lovely delivery tone and is very knowledgeable.
After completing checkout you will be emailed a link to download a Zip file, which contains the video recording (MP4 format) and a PDF of the slides presented. The PDF includes detailed profiles of ten dye plants, plus a list of seed suppliers with clickable links to their websites.
Please do not share the recording or PDFs - these materials are provided exclusively for the use of those who have purchased it. Thank you!
Seed to Skein, which is launched in this workshop, is my new growing-led membership community for those that wish to grown their own dyes, and learn how to create beautifully dyed yarns with those plants! Learn more and join the community here…
