This is an in-depth class covering fibers: fiber preparation (including carding and combing) for woolen and worsted; spinning technique; wheel adjustments and ratios; and finishing your skeins for a professional look. This class will help participants to fine-tune their spinning skills and put to use some of the techniques they may have read about but not explored.

Material fee- $22 which includes an extensive handout and all materials used during the class

Kumihimo

This class introduces you to the ancient Japanese art of braiding on a maru dai. Participants will learn how to wind the bobbins and how to do a round, square, flat and spiral braid on eight bobbins. No previous experience is required and equipment will be provided for use in class.

Material fee- $18, which includes the handout, use of equipment and all yarns/threads we will be using in class. The equipment for kumihimo is made by Robin’s husband Pat and will be offered at a very discounted price, if class participants wish to purchase the equipment after class.
