For a spinner, buying a fleece can be a peak experience. But at some point you need to do something with it. How best to use that fleece can be determined by doing a series of quick samples to see how it behaves with different preparations and spinning techniques. You can have a very good snapshot of the possibilities in a short time with the methods used in this class. We will look at three very different fleeces: Merino, Corriedale and Shetland. You will end up with about 15 samples of yarn for each of these in three hours. Time permitting; you may be able to spin enough of your favorite yarn to knit a swatch. Sampling is time well spent and this technique makes it efficient and quick.

Student Materials List: Spinning Wheel, Two Bobbins, Maintenance Kit, Pen or Pencil, Knitting needles for Worsted Weight Yarn.
