For many textile artists, buying yarn is where their project starts. But what if you could spin the yarn yourself? You could make exactly the right yarn for the job. Join Anna Hosick-Kalahan – co-owner of Skagit Woolen Works – to learn about spinning on a spinning wheel. We’ll cover basic wheel mechanics and maintenance, the properties of wool and other spinning fibers, and start the process of spinning your first singles yarns. We’ll talk about staple length, draft, and twist, and there will be a variety of Skagit Woolen Works’ regionally-sourced wool roving to practice and play with.
Material list: Loaner wheels and materials included, but if you have your own wheel you are encouraged to bring it!
