Intermediate - Spinning for a ProjectThursdays, October 14, 21 & 28; 7:00-9:00pm For newer spinners who can make yarn but want to know what to do next, this class takes you from spinning to spinning yarn for an actual project. In week one, we'll talk about picking fiber for a project and do sampling to determine your twist and gauge based on the WPI prinicple. Week two will look at what you've spun, then switch to focusing on different techniques for plying and finishing. In Week three, we'll take a quick look at fiber prep; it's more than just pre-drafting! This class can work if you have a wheel or a drop spindle. Please bring your equipment and a sample skein of recent handspun to the first class. Also have a small 100-200 yard project in mind for your homework throughout the class. Bring or buy that fiber you are dying to spin up in to something special! Cost - $59.00*** |
