Learn to Spin with a Drop Spindle

Using a spindle to create yarn from fiber preceded the use of the spinning wheel by centuries but this ancient art is still popular based on its portability, availability of fine fibers, and a beautiful array of handmade spindles. This class will take the mystery out of how to create beautiful yarn using a drop spindle. Cost $45

Materials:  Class fee includes fiber and a spindle.  You can also bring your own spindle if you have one. 10% off additional fiber purchased in connection with class.

Nuno Felting: Make a beautiful silk and wool scarf

Scarves: many of us don't leave home without them. They are imperative in the winter but they can also simply be fashionable. In this class you will learn the modern wet felting technique called Nuno which creates a durable, elegant and warm material by combing wool with silk or other light weight fabric. Nuno felting is especially exciting because it is a bit like painting with wool on a silk canvas with an unpredictable and exciting outcome. Come with a sense of adventure and patience! Cost $50 includes all materials

This class will be held outdoors and there is a good chance you will get wet. Please dress appropriately.

Sunday July 13      or       Monday August 11  1-5pm
