About this event
Instructor: Charan Sachar
This class will focus on a plying technique for creating stacks that give the appearance of beads. We will explore ways to spin your singles with pops of color and texture using contrasting colors. These make great textured yarns for weaving
Materials Fee: $25, included in registration fee, includes fiber.
Prerequisites: Students should be familiar with their wheel, able to spin a continuous thread and make a plied yarn.
Important Homework! Since this is a half-day class, students should have singles on two bobbins already spun up with at least 1 oz of singles spun on each (Worsted spun at approx. 10-12 WPI (not very fine), with enough twist for plying)
Equipment Requirements: Student will need to bring the following to class–
Wheel with a large orifice (1/2” or more) to accommodate textured yarns. (Most yarns are doable by regular orifice 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.
