Ontario Handspinning Seminar

Diamonds capture our attention with their light reflective properties. Through experimentation with a variety of fibres and other materials as well as use of different construction techniques, participants will have the opportunity to design yarns that capture their imagined “diamonds in the fluff.” During this session, I hope that most participants would have learned at least one "new to them" yarn construction technique and incorporated in a yarn different combinations of singles than perhaps they have used before. I shall be spinning techniques at different levels so that no one leaves frustrated and discouraged.
