Description

Natural Fiber Art - Beginning Yarn Spinning is a class where students will be instructed in the benefits of natural fibers (wool and mohair) and processing the natural fibers from raw fleece to yarn. The focus of the class will be fiber preparation prior to spinning and then spinning yarn with a drop spindle. Information on how to finish hand-spun yarn for use in crochet or knitting projects will also be covered. You will be provided materials and equipment that will enable creation of single (non-plied) yarn. This class is foundational and necessary if you wish to progress to future advanced spinning course.
