Fiber School: Fiber Across the Wheel - Amy Manko - Sun. 8/2

Sunday, August 2
10:00-1:00, 3 hours

About this class:
Based on an article written for Ply Magazine, we will explore multiple fibers of all types individually to experience how they behave ‘across the wheel’. In this class we will start in our comfy Merino box and then blast into the world of unusual fibers made by plants, animals, (and maybe even scientists!) discovering the attributes we are looking for to add some zest to our spinning and maybe even to blend with some of our favorite ‘wheelhouse’ fibers. Students are encouraged to bring blending boards and hand cards to experiment with blending fibers in the final portion of the class.

Level: Beginner

What you’ll need to bring to class:
 Students should make arrangements to bring (or borrow) a working spinning wheel or spindles.

About the instructor:
I've taught all across the country including Lambtown, Michigan Fiber Festival, Wisconsin Sheep & Wool, DFW Fiber Festival and Flock. I LOVE helping folks discover new to them breeds, techniques and skills and can’t wait to teach again at Flock!
