Draft-O-Rama: Woolen and Worsted Prep and Draft
About Draft-O-Rama: Woolen and Worsted Prep and Draft with Jillian Moreno
Are you new to spinning? Know how to make yarn, but not sure about the difference between woolen and worsted, or even what it means? In this class we’ll explore the mysterious and sometimes daunting world of woolen and worsted. You will learn woolen and worsted drafting techniques, how they are different, how they can be similar and what is the key factor for each one. Working with fiber from your stash you'll learn how to make each draft work in sync with the fiber and preparation you have, and what type of yarn you can expect.
This Fiber Arts Seminar is offered as part of the 2021 Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival and is limited to 20 students.
Class Materials Needed
A wheel in good working order, at least three bobbins, a lazy Kate, a niddy noddy, tags to mark samples and pen and paper to take notes. Combed top in a fiber and color you love to spin.
