Classes next week

Novelty Yarn Series: Spinning Thick and Thin

This class is a great opportunity for the spinner to explore (or revisit?) irregular yarn.  That lovely chunky stuff you look wistfully at a new spinner turning out?  Heather will guide you through making it with control and show you how it is the technique at the root of noils, wraps and all sorts of fun novelty yarns!
You will need to bring your basic spinning skills, a wheel and some prepared roving.  If you need supplies, you'll get a 10% discount as a student.  If you need to arrange to use a shop wheel for the class, let us know when you sign up.  Don't forget your sense of humor!
Saturday, Feb.5th.  11AM to 1 PM.  $20.  Heather Seevers, teacher extraordinaire.

Spinning: Drop Spindle Class
Want to learn an age-old fun and portable way of making your own yarn?  Learn to spin using this historical, inexpensive devise – used worldwide!  You will learn to spin using the “park-and-draft” method, ply your own handspun and make a skein of it in the end.  Margaret will show you the tricks of making a center-pull ball to work from, too.
Bring your curiosity.  Drop spindle and fiber can be purchased with 10% student discount.  Ask staff for assistance when you sign up.
Sunday, Feb. 6, 11AM to 1:30PM.  $20.  Margaret Magic.
