Learn how to process wool into fabric by hand starting with the sheep!
In “From Fleece to Fabric ” you begin with shearing the sheep and progress through washing the fleece, carding the wool, using a drop spindle to spin yarn, dying the yarn and finally weave a small piece of fabric. This three-day hands-on course includes a drop spindle and a lap loom for you to take home to continue your journey after the class.
