About Twisted Together - Crepe, Cables and the Endless Possibilities of Layered Plying with Esther Rodgers
This is a great class for all sorts of spinners- from ultra-textured art yarn spinners, to the most traditional laceweight spinners!! Play with texture by layering your plies! In this class students will explore the structure layered plying by spinning crepes and cables. We will then play with texture by mixing and matching non-traditional plies to make the same layered structures.
