Fiber Across the Wheel with Amy Manko

Based on my article for PLY Magazine, this class explores how different fibers behave when treated similarly. We will spend 3 hours sampling and playing with different fiber types using the same techniques to discover how they are similar and different in the way they “like” to be handled. If you are an “All Merino All The Time” spinner and want to stretch your wings, a new spinner wanting to Try All The Things, or a spinner who just wants to Expand Your Horizons, this class is for you. We will explore 5 different fibers in this class and maybe even discover a new favorite!  Materials Fee = $25.  Please bring (or arrange to borrow), basic fiber prep equipment including wheel or spindle, 5 bobbins (preferred) or equipment to skein off samples to reuse bobbins (small niddy noddy, ballwinder or the like)
