Warp it Good - Rigid Heddle Weaving

This class is geared to those who have their own rigid heddle loom and want to learn how to incorporate various yarns and have a balanced finished product.  Students should bring their loom in good working order and a stand if they have one.  Bring a 7.5 or 8 dent heddle and your weaving accessories including a sharp pair of scissors and shuttle(s) and heddle threader and a notebook.  Students are welcome to bring any yarns they wish to incorporate into the scarf we'll be starting.   Large assortment of warp yarns provided.  Class is approximately 4 hrs. $60

Sorting & Grading Alpaca Fiber

Learn how to get the best out of each fleece by sorting and skirting it to get to it’s full potential and the reasoning behind it.  We will be hands-on with one of your fleeces or one of ours showing why we skirt a fleece a certain way based on what we want to do with it.  This basic education can be applied to almost any type of fleece to enhance the quality of your fiber and finished products.  Class will range from 3-4 hours.  $50 per person
