#331 Amy Ross Manko — Fiber Across the Wheel  Half day  Friday 1-4pm   Bldg 10 North  $50

Skill level:  All levels welcome

Workshop Description: Based on an article written for Ply Magazine, we will explore multiple fibers of all types individually to experience how they behave ‘across the wheel’. In this class we will start in our comfy Merino box and then blast into the world of unusual fibers made by plants, animals, (and maybe even scientists!) discovering the attributes we are looking for to add some zest to our spinning and maybe even to blend with some of our favorite ‘wheelhouse’ fibers. Students are encouraged to bring blending boards and hand cards to experiment with blending fibers in the final portion of the class.

Students should bring:  Students should make arrangements to bring (or borrow) a working spinning wheel or spindle, a niddy noddy or ball winder and preferably 4 or more bobbins (although there are work-arounds if you don’t have 4.)

Homework:  None 

Material Fee  $25  Includes:  Samples of multiple types of fiber for study

Class Limit:  12
