Fiber Blending
January 24, 2012, 7:30 pm
Wolbach Farm, 18 Wolbach Rd., Sudbury, MA
Join us to investigate blending wool, silk, alpaca,
and mohair. We will discuss the reasons for blending and what each fiber brings
to the blend, then get down to trying some out for ourselves. Bring your
enthusiasm, your wheel or spindle, hand cards, including extras to share if you
have them. The BASD drum carder will also be available. Bring a fiber-blended
show and tell, if you'd like, also. There will be a $2 materials fee for the
fiber and handout.
Swap
For those participating in the alpaca blending
swap, bring your spun yarn for the second portion of the swap. We will put our
labeled yarn back in the swap bag and draw again for the
yarn-to-finished-object portion of the swap.
