 Join Janna Vallee, of Everlea Looms, in Gibsons on April 25th from 11am-4pm to Weave an Everlea Gradient
Learn the art of weaving an Everlea Gradient using tapestry techniques and a gorgeous array of plant dyed yarns, dyed by Janna at Everlea Looms. You will create a one-of-a-kind 4"X4" weaving (or begin a 4"X6"and finish it at home) showcasing complex, stunning colour harmonies. Your finished artwork can be hung on a wall or used as a coaster, or vignette textile. What is an Everlea Gradient? Using Everlea's naturally dyed organic merino yarns, you will learn to weave two gradient colourways woven at the same time working in opposite value directions alongside each other on your loom. You will weave one gradient from light to dark, while the other gradient weaves from dark to light. We will talk about the ways in which colour theory plays a part in our colour decisions and Janna will share many samples of colour combinations that she has used and you are welcome to mimic, or create your own unique combination of colours from dozens of colourway options. With the help of Janna you get to choose the 10 colourways that you will use in your weaving. Skill Level: This workshop is beginner friendly. Never woven before? No problem! Cost: $120 plus supplies Supplies: $25 for just the yarn, or $88+ for yarn and loom depending on the loom you choose. If you are bringing your own non-Everlea loom it must be able to weave 6 ends-per-inch and you will contact Janna to make sure it will work for the workshop. She will also give you loom preparation instructions.

About the Everlea Guide to Vancouver Yarn Hi, I'm Janna. I'm the proprietor, maker and natural dyer at Everlea Looms. I am a tapestry weaver, longtime knitter and 2013 graduate of Concordia University's Fibres and Material Practices program. In 2008 I created Vancouver Yarn as a space to hold as much of the textile awesomeness that I could find in and around Vancouver. Here on the VY blog I mostly share about local events. It soon grew to include all the places you can shop for yarny things online in Canada. Do you have an event you'd like me to post? Simply email me at janna (at) everleayarn.ca Thank you, Janna
