You’re an aspiring handspinner or felter, and you want to learn how to prepare your own fiber. In this interactive class, Sylvia will demonstrate and discuss all of the steps to prepare raw wool for either spinning or felting. These steps will include scouring, carding on hand carders and a drum carder, and combing. Class participants will have opportunities to compare fibers and preparation techniques, as well as try the tools themselves. Participants will receive a class outline that includes definitions and descriptions of techniques for future reference.
