Think Outside the Braid
About Think Outside the Braid with Heavenly Bresser
Join us as we explore different ways to spin combed-top braids including gradient spinning, combination drafting, and spinning multiple braids together into one yarn. We will use both color theory and creativity for the best results. Our goal is to gain confidence in spinning braids with varying colors into a cohesive yarn AND to think outside the box to achieve your desired outcome from the raw materials. Drop-spindle friendly class!
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
Students should have: notebook, pen or pencil with eraser, spinning wheel in working order OR drop spindle (three drop spindles are ideal, but you may bring one and a ball winder and still keep up), wheel spinners should have three bobbins for sampling and a lazy kate (lazy kate is optional). Students should also have stash fiber—one 3 oz indie dyed roving or braid with at least three colors for sampling.
Skill Level
Intermediate - Must be able to spin a continuous singles yarn and ply a 2-ply yarn.

Single session on Friday, April 30, at 10 am ET | 7 am PT | 14:00 UTC.
