Learn about different types of wools and their uses for different styles of yarn, the process of washing raw wool, how to prepare worsted and woolen yarns using wool combs and hand carders, and how to operate a drum carder.
How do you chain warp your loom-front to back or back to front? Maybe you were taught only one way to warp your loom and have always wondered about the other way.
How do you take a simple one-color scarf, table runner, or curtain and make it something special and unique?
Do you get discouraged with your weaving because you lack some of the basic knowledge that's needed to plan a project?
The class will cover fundamental information including warp calculations and appropriate yarn choices, plus explore two different techniques for dressing the loom.
