Learn how to process wool from start to finish in this series of classes. Starting with skirting and washing a fleece, then preparing (carding) the wool for spinning, then spinning the wool into yarn using a drop spindle, and finishing with a sweater workshop for those wanting to make their first sweater, or gain new skills in sweater making, such as steeking and other techniques. Save $30 on your purchase of the whole series!
*We will not be making a sweater’s worth of yarn in this series, it takes me about 6 months to make that much yarn! We will learn the skills for you to be able to purchase a fleece in the future and confidently know how to process it from start to finish.
*Raw wool will be provided for the scouring and carding classes, and prepared wool for the spinning class for those who didn’t get wool in the previous class. I will have a couple student spindles to use in the drop spinning class, you may want to purchase your own spindle. For the sweater workshop, you will need to bring yarn and a pattern. I can help you pick out your supplies ahead of time.
