This will be our last regular meeting until the Christmas potluck in December YOU’RE WELCOME TO BRING A FRIEND!!! If you know someone who is curious about spinning but does not own a Wheel, we can help with that. A Spinning Wheel was generously gifted to the Group from our member Maria Khala-THANK YOU!- which can be rented monthly, and will include fiber and free lessons. BRING YOUR OWN BAGGED LUNCH & SNACKS TO SHARE WITH OTHERS Then let’s shower our Fire Fighters with appreciation with any left-over goodies. It is a great way to say "Thank You" for the use of the Meeting Room - and they do all the cleaning up after us when we leave.

Prerequisites: Students should be able to knit and purl Things to bring to class: Pair of US size 7 or 8 needles (whichever you like to use with worsted weight yarn) At least 200gms of scrap sock/fingering weight yarn–more is better! If you come with more yarn, you will leave with more. Optional: If you have a digital scale, bring one along! Yarn from all students will be mixed to increase variety in your resulting yarn. Bring all and any colors. Brights, neutrals, variegated– no scrap is too small or too ugly! Yarns will be cut up further so do not bring full skeins, do not go shopping.

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.
