SUMMARY:Spinning Workshop: Spinning Worsted Style
DESCRIPTION:Click here or the link below to register. \nInstructor: Melissa Mills \nRegistration Deadline: Friday\, November 10 4:00pmTime: Saturday Afternoon from 1pm to 4pmDate: November 11Level: Advanced Beginner to IntermediateSkills Taught:  \nTraditionally there were two kinds of spinning styles (and yarns) in the western spinning tradition: worsted and woolen.  Worsted refers to yarns spun from parallel fibers that have been combed (not carded) to remove shorter bits and spun with a short draw to keep the fibers in their parallel alignment. Woolen yarns are spun from carded fibers in a more airy\, random arrangement. \nTraditionally\, worsted yarns are spun with a short draw from combed top.  Yarn spun in the worsted style can be made from wool or a blend of other animal or plant fibers.While confusing terminology\, “Worsted” here refers to the fiber prep and spinning style – not thickness of the yarn. Worsted -spun yarns are generally characterized as having good drape yet durable\, compared to other spinning methods. \nThis course will cover exercises for several worsted drafting methods. Please\, bring your favorite wheel to travel with for this three hour course\, as well as any worsted prepped fiber you might have available (approximately 2-4 ounces of combed top or braid). Limited fiber will be made available for the course. Feel free to bring any other items necessary for your specific wheel. \nClass policies: Enrollment: Class is limited to 6 people unless approved by the instructor. Enrollment must be made at least 24 hours in advance of the first class to ensure there is a space for you. You can sign up in the store\, online\, or by phone (817)731-5044.  \nCancellations: If you need to cancel your class registration\, you will be issued store credit for the class amount if you give us a week or more notice. If given less than a week and we can fill your spot in the knitting class\, you will be issued store credit for the class amount.  \nIf there are less than 2 students in a class\, the class may be cancelled one day prior and store credit will be issued for the class fee.  \nMissed Classes:Missed single classes cannot be made up or credited towards a future class.  \n
