Summer solstice is this weekend, which means it's time to announce our annual Barn Sale and Dye Day event!

On Saturday, July 12th from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, we are having our annual sale in Scappoose. We are also opening the dye studio for a day of color fun and exploration. We'll have yarn and roving bases you can purchase to dye and we will be on hand to guide you in your dye journey for the day. You'll hand-paint and also have access to an indigo vat for dipping and any other color fun we can cook up. We have a wicked new drum carder, so if you are a spinner you can make yourself a batt or two.

In order to accommodate everyone in a way that assures the most positive experience for us all, we do take reservations. The reservations are $10.00 and it holds your spot and goes toward the cost of the day. Each time slot is 2 hours long, a good amount of time for a hand-painting experience. We will be there to give you the basics and to hold your hand as you bring your color vision to life on yarn (or roving). If you feel like you need more than two hours for your hand-painting experience, please do sign up for more than one slot. If you are coming just for the Barn Sale you do not need reservations. However, yarn leaves here pretty fast so come early!

There are 4 time slots on Saturday, July 12th: 

• 9:00am to 11:00am
• 11:00am to 1:00pm
• 1:30pm to 3:30pm, and 
• 3:30pm to 5:30pm

The cost for this dye adventure is the $10.00 registration fee and the cost of the fibers and yarns you choose to dye.

Just to be crystal clear, this is not a formal dye class. We will be there to inform and guide you in any way you need and make sure you have a colorful good time!

We hope you will join us! You can read more details on the Blue Moon blog.
