It can be lofty, warm, and full of color depth, but only if you know how to work with the fiber and draft in a way that supports those qualities. In this workshop, Alanna will guide you through spinning woolen style yarns using a range of woolen preparation fibers. You will explore how different preparations behave in your hands, how to choose a drafting approach that matches the fiber, and how to adjust twist so your yarn stays cohesive without losing loft. The focus is practical and repeatable.
