On January. 13 they will show how to prepare cotton and wool bolls for spinning, which includes washing the bolls, picking them up and then carding. In January. 20 they will demonstrate a variety of spinning techniques employing different fibers. In January. 27 they will show ways to make wearable artwork with cotton thread and wool yarn. The next two weekends will be filled with fiber art classes including Randy’s renowned yarn dyeing course.
