Service Description

The fundamentals of core spinning will introduce students to the basics of core spinning: how to choose the right core, what fibers to use, fiber prep, the different characteristics of core spun yarns and how they may be used in the world of fiber art. We will concentrate on hand work, treadle work and how to learn to gain control of your fiber while working with multiple movements of hands and feet. We will discuss tension, overspinning and fiber slippage as well. Though all levels are welcome, students should be comfortable in basic spinning and have some level of control over their drafting. Materials Included: 3 oz Combed Top, 3 oz Art Batt, 2 oz Fiber Cloud Students need to bring: A spinning wheel with a large orifice and 3 bobbins(an e-spinner is fine as well, though students should bring a battery pack as electrical is not always available.). Students may also bring a niddy noddy, though there will be a couple to share if they do not have their own and a lazy kate. Registration and materials fee included in the class cost.
