In this course students will learn how to work with hand prepared wool. This course takes you through the entire process of transforming raw fleece into a finished yarn. You'll learn how to skirt, wash, and prepare the wool, then we will spin and ply your yarn, gaining the knowledge to create your own handspun yarn from start to finish.
Prerequisite: Spinning experience required - must be able to spin a single. If you have not spun before, our Learn to Spin class will be a great introduction!
All materials included. Wheels can be provided with advance notice.
