Expand your spinning knowledge beyond sheep’s wool in this hands-on class. Bring your wheel or spindle and sample several different types of fibre: alpaca, mohair, silk and combinations.  Experiment with ways to process, blend and spin these types of fibre. This class comes with an ample goody bag; you’ll have a few ounces of several different fibres to take home and continue learning after the class is over.  You must be able to spin to take this class.
