Spinning Yarn from Wool- August 2026
$25.00Janet's woven items often start with unique one-of-a-kind hand spun yarns. Spend an evening and see how she starts with wool from a variety of sheep and adds some bamboo or sparkle to create a blend of fiber to spin into thick or thin single ply yarn. After spinning again, a simple yarn is created, or texture and coils can be added to create an "art yarn" that looks wonderful when used to weave or knit.
