You’ve got the basics down, you’re comfortable at your wheel, but you’d like to learn more. Maybe you’re struggling to get your handspun yarn just right. In this class you will learn about how different methods of fiber preparation directly affect your drafting techniques, how to pick a drafting method based on what you want your final yarn to look and feel like, and practice a few different methods including forward draw, backward draft, and longdraw. Masks are required for this class. We will have extras at the door.
