WORKSHOP | natural dye at aprilfeesten 2024

Dyeing socks with natural colours from the city!

Did you know that a whole palette of natural colours grows around us? During the Aprilfeesten on Amsterdam’s Nieuwmarkt, you can tie-dye with Waag.

Come to Waag Futurelab’s stand at the Aprilfeesten and discover how to turn your boring white socks into real artworks. We use plant-based dyes, such as madder for the colour red and bluewood for the colour deep purple. You can take home the dyed socks after the workshop!

The kit

The SOCK DYE KIT brings together the magic of dyeing with everyday use item – socks!

You can dye the 100% cotton socks with any of the dyes of our plant catalogue – check out the color catalogue for references!

You can also use your own socks – unpaired lonely socks can become matching again, or discoloured warm socks can become colourful! Use the provided socks, or bring your own – as long as they are made of natural fibers, like cotton, wool, angora or linen!
