Field Trip & Dye Workshop
at Mountain Colors!

If you missed last year's trip to Mountain Colors, Montana's hand-dye mecca in the Bitterroot Valley, despair not! We are going again and this year's trip promises to be even better as we'll have an optional dye workshop presented by Mountain Colors staff. They will provide easy instructions, dyes and yarn and turn us loose to play!

Friday, May 2, All Day: Leave at 8:30 a.m. on the "knit & chat" bus for the Bitterroot Valley and return home around 10 p.m. Transportation costs: $98 or less (depending on # of participants). Workshop cost: $85 (for all materials including 1 lb of wool to dye) The cost of transportation could go down substantially, if we have a fair number of participants. Please call 585-8335 to sign up.
