Description
You have a spinning wheel and you’re making yarn, but you’re sure there’s more you could be doing, right? In this class we’ll work on moving beyond our first skeins to something a little more refined. We’ll try our hands at various drafting techniques and how they create different yarns, look at woolen and worsted spinning, discuss the properties of different fibers, learn to hand card, ply, make skeins, and finish and store them. Lots of hands on, lots of learning, lots of fun! Class is limited to 5 so everyone can get hands-on instruction.
Prerequisite: Participants should have their own spinning wheel and be able to spin a consistent yarn
Supplies: Students need to bring a spinning wheel (in good working order), wool cards (if you have them or can borrow then in class), and the usual spinning tools.
