Wool Combing

THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED due to restrictions in gathering to slow the spread of coronovirus.  Registered Students will be refunded.

Description: As a Spinner, you get to decide what type of yarn you want to spin. This is a series of short workshops meant to expand your spinning horizons. Each topic will have you sampling a specific fibre and combining a different fibre preparation method with a particular spinning technique, to produce a yarn for a specific finished project. The goal is to break out of your comfort zone and see the kind of spinning future you can create for yourself. In this session we will be working with medium/strong wool in two colours and combs to learn how to produce a novelty marl yarn suitable for a coil basket.

Prerequisite: Spinning 2 – Wheel or able to spin a continuous yarn on a wheel.

Students should bring: A well-tuned spinning wheel, any fibre preparation tools that you may have.

Materials fee: Approximately $25 includes all materials required for the workshop.
