<div>We still have a few openings in the Beginning Wheel Spinning class this Monday. If you have drop spindle experience, and are ready to take the next step, this class is for you!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Beginning Wheel Spinning – $30 + $10 supply fee</div>
<div><strong><span style="COLOR:#008000">Monday, June 3 – 7 pm to 9 pm</span></strong></div>
<div><span style>Learn the parts of the spinning wheel, how to spin S and Z singles, and determining the gauge of your handspun yarn. Spinning wheels provided, but feel free to bring your own. Drop spindle, or some previous wheel spinning, experience required.<em> Limit 8 students</em></span></div>
<div><em><br>
</em></div>
<div><strong><span style="COLOR:#008000">Basic Plying on the Wheel – $30 </span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="COLOR:#008000">Monday, June 24 – 7 pm to 9 pm</span></strong></div>
<div><span style>Just like spinning a consistent single takes practice, so does creating a balanced two ply yarn. Learn the basics of spinning two ply, as well as Navajo plying with one single. Demonstration of Andean plying, a method of creating a 2 ply yarn from one bobbin, will also be included. We will also discuss the qualities these different methods provide, and using them in your knitting projects. <em>Bring two bobbins of contrasting handspun singles. Wheels provided, but feel free to bring your own with an empty bobbin for plying. Limit 8 students</em></span></div>
<div><span style><em><br>
</em></span></div>
<div><strong><span style="COLOR:#008000">Chop Suey Yarn – $45</span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="COLOR:#008000">Saturday, June 29 – 1 pm to 4 pm</span></strong></div>
<div><span style>In this stash-busting class we’ll combine a variety of fibers from similar color families into a harmonious batt that can be used for a larger project. Guidance will be provided in this hands-on workshop while weighing and blending fiber lengths, textures, and colors to provide the best results, and most effective drum carding. Use any fiber in your stash whether carded roving, combed top, or washed but unprepared locks. Several ways to spin from a batt will also be demonstrated. Get that fiber out of your bins and spin it into beautiful blended yarn! Drum carders and scales will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. <em>SUPPLIES: Fiber of any type and preparation in similar colorways, pencil or pen</em></span></div>
