#322   Justin Near--Yarn on a Budget: Upcycling Sweaters   Half day Friday 9am-noon  Bldg 10 North   $50

Skill level:  Beginner

Workshop Description: Unraveling knit sweaters can provide you with plenty of high-quality yarn (up to a mile!) at a very low cost, but not all sweaters are made equal. Learn how to choose the right sweater to unravel, de-seam a sweater (the hard part!), and unravel it (the fun part!). Share your bounty with others in the class and learn how to spin the different sweaters together to make a new yarn, completely unique (no previous spinning experience required). Every student will be provided with one thrift-store sweater to keep. Feel free to bring a sweater from home to learn more about it. There will be tools to share, but feel free to bring a ball winder if you have one and any tools that might help you see detailed work.

Students should bring: N/A but can bring lights/magnifying devices to help with seams

Homework:  NA

Material Fee: $8  includes a sweater to unravel
