Skill level:  Beginner

Workshop Description:  In this all-day, fun and informative class, learn the basics of fiber prep for various breeds of sheep using my locally sourced fiber from local wool growers in my area.  You’ll learn breed characteristics for each of five breeds, along with the best ways to prep each fiber and what each type is best suited for.  We’ll cover skirting, picking, washing, carding, and combing.  Then you’ll be able to “test spin” each of the fibers.

Students should bring: Students should bring a spinning wheel, in good working order, or a drop spindle to test spin fiber samples in class, along with a smile and willingness to learn.  Students should come prepared to get a little dirty and have a lot of fun!

Homework:  None

Material Fee  $20   2oz of each type of fiber (1oz raw & 1oz prepped), wash bins, 4oz bottle of Power Scour, washing bags, gloves, line and clothespin, and a resource guide, all of which the students will be able to take home with them.  Additional supplies may be made available to purchase at the end of class.
