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!
