STUDENTS TO BRING: Students should come prepared to get a little dirty and have a lot of fun. Students may also bring any raw fiber they are interested in learning how to process (just a couple of ounces will do) as well as any fiber equipment they have and would like to learn to use.

DESCRIPTION: Are you new to fiber processing or wanting to learn how to start from the beginning? If so, this is the perfect class for you! During this class we’ll cover the basic types of wool and best preparation practices including skirting, picking, washing, carding, and combing. There will be plenty of time for questions and for those who have experience and would like, you’ll have the opportunity to spin some of the fiber as well. In the morning we’ll go over types of wool and washing of fiber, and in the afternoon, process it for spinning. No prior fiber processing experience needed. This class is appropriate for any age, however children under the age of 13 should be accompanied by an adult also taking the class.
