SUMMARY:Yarn Spinning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:We had 2 very soft and friendly sheep visiting the farm th
 is summer and were inspired by their amazing coats. We thought it woul
 d be great to learn a little bit more about their wool, how it becomes
  beautiful yarn. We thought you would be curious too! So we are offeri
 ng this beginner spinning workshop.\n\nWe will cover topics like why w
 ool makes such great yarn, what wool is and talk about the different w
 ays to spin yarn; on spindles, wheels, and worsted vs woolen. Everyone
  will get a drop spindle to work with in the class and to take home. W
 e’ll be spinning a “single” on the drop spindle, and plying the 
 yarn. Learn about why we ply yarn and how to finish it.\n\nOur instruc
 tor, Lisa Charleson who you may know from the Greensgrow Holiday Bazaa
 r (pictured with dual treadle wheel) will demonstrate a few different 
 techniques for spinning and plying yarn, as well as what goes into pre
 pping raw wool for spinning. Lisa has been dying and spinning her own 
 yarn since 2010. She uses a variety of spinning and plying techniques 
 to create unique artful yarns in very small batches.\n\nParticipants w
 ill take home one Ashford Student Spindle, the yarn you make in class 
 along with some undyed Merino top to continue practicing on your new d
 rop spindle. Plus we’ll give you a take home pamphlet describing the
  techniques practiced and demonstrated in class with instructions for 
 finishing the final product at home.\n\nFor more information visit htt
