Course Code: ARTS2937

Build on your existing spinning skills by exploring a range of fibres beyond wool, including alpaca, mohair, angora, silk, and dog fur. You will learn about the unique characteristics of each fibre and how to blend and spin them effectively. Instruction will focus on adjusting your spinning techniques and experimenting with creative multi-plying methods to produce distinctive, high-quality yarns. This class is intended for spinners who are comfortable using a spinning wheel or e-spinner and can create a two-ply yarn.
