We will explore the fundamentals of both free spinning and core spun yarn making, including the addition of beads, crocheted flowers and supplemental beehives.  We'll frolic with mohair locks, and our approach will be free exploration rather than a more controlled approach.  Bring your sense of whimsy!

Skill Requirements: Must be able to spin a basic yarn

Materials Provided by Instructor: 

  • Small art batt (wool, alpaca, silk, mohair, bamboo, Angelina)
  • Natural and colored roving
  • Mini crocheted flowers
  • Threads and fine yarns for core spinning

Participant materials/equipment to bring:

  • spinning wheel with large orifice if possible

Instructor Bio: 

Practicing fiber arts and crafts has always had a meditative quality for me and I enjoy sharing this practice with others. Teaching has been an excellent way to share my love of creating with others. I truly enjoy teaching. My students have often told me that they appreciate my patience. I believe that my 20 years of experience creating has helped me to clearly see where a student is at, and precisely what they need to learn to further their personal crafting journey.
