Spinning Classes

Having a Ball with Blending
Instructor: Susan Douglas



color blending samplesThis class sold out last session, so we've added it to our summer schedule! Use a drumcarder or hand cards to learn the tricks for creating colors with depth and complexity, and "have a ball" as you discover optical blendi ng. After some hands-on color theory, use your beautifully blended fiber samples to spin yarn for a fun, quick-to-knit project that can be a plaything, an ornament or a kitty toy. Hand spindles are provided, or you may bring your spinning wheel, in good working order. This is a class for those with beginner or better spinning and knitting skills.
Class requirements: pencil & paper for notetaking. Spinning wheel or drop spindle. Single pointed size 7 needles. Lunch

Date: Sat, June 14 ... Time: 9:30 am - 2:00 pm

Item Number: HBB0608C ... $60.00
