Ontario Handspinning Seminar


Fleece Selection and Preparation
Donna Hancock
In this workshop, we will evaluate some raw fleeces to determine whether they are a good purchase and for what end-use. We will then do some hands-on prep and try spinning them for the end uses the class feels they are most suited for.
Workshop Description
Bring the following: Hand carders, apron, spinning wheel, and niddy noddy.
