Worsted vs. Woolen
Taught by Judie Overbeek

Saturday - 1pm to 4pm      
Intermediate: You should be able to spin a continuous thread and feel comfortable with your wheel.
Class Fee: $45

See the techniques: Short draw vs. long draw, smooth and even vs. fuzzy and round. It doesn’t matter what words you use, but it does matter that you understand the difference between these two fundamental spinning structures. They have evolved as a necessary response to fibers that vary from long and lustrous to short and fine. EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT. Gain control of your spinning projects from critter to sweater.

Material fees: $8 Bring: spinning wheel, wheel accessories (Lazy Kate, niddy noddy, threading hook etc), 3 empty bobbins, maintenance kit, note taking materials and tags for labeling samples.
