About this event
Instructor: Charan Sachar
Thick and thin yarns are great when it comes to creating textured yarns and are one of my favorites to spin. In this full day class, you will learn to spin thick and thin yarns with the intention of plying them into something magical. Using the thick and thin singles we will explore how to create Beehives, fishnets (2-ply crepe), and Rosebuds. When you leave the class you’ll be able to add these techniques to your creative spinning repertoire.
We will take a lunch break from 12-1:00. Bring a sack lunch, or get lunch off-site.
Materials Fee: $35, included with registration, includes top and ply thread.
Prerequisites: Students should be familiar with their wheel, able to spin a continuous thread and make a plied yarn.
Equipment Requirements: Student will need to bring the following to class–
Wheel with a large orfice (1/2” or more) to accommodate textured yarns. (Most yarns are doable by regular orfice wheels as well, but require hand winding the yarn on the bobbin.)
For most classes 2-3 bobbins, or ability to wind off bobbins on storage bobbins to ply.
