The second of my summer spinning workshops

Spinning Colored Yarns

In this 4-hour workshop, you will learn how to put multiple colors in your spinning without buying handpainted roving. We'll explore different carding and spinning methods to achieve mixed-color yarns and space-dyed effects and discuss the results and their uses. Students should be comfortable enough with a wheel or spindle to make well-constructed consistent yarn.

Supplies to bring with you:
--Spindle or wheel
--Handcards if you have them (one pair will be available to share)
--At least 3 bobbins for your wheel; spindlers bring a storage method so you can wind off yarns as you make them
--Spare drive band, oil, any other “tools” you usually carry when spinning
--Please bring your own lunch; coffee/tea/water will be available

July 10, 2010—10:00 to 2:30 with 30 minutes for lunch
$60 includes materials and handout

Sounds like you're doing well with your lessons - did you get a lot of students last time? I hope you did! It's wonderful teaching something you enjoy! I wish I'd get more crochet students. I enjoy teaching.

Have a wonderful week :-)
Love,
Doris and Gizzy :-)
