Spinning Tricks and Tips
Learn to chain ply and see how it changes how you control the colors in your hand spun yarn, as well as the texture. Try spinning different fibers, and see how they react to twist, speed, ply, etc. This is not a beginner’s class.
Teacher: Cecilia Stern-Frisenfelds
Cecilia is originally from Sweden, and used to author text books and worked as an editor and project manager for a large publishing house in Sweden. Years ago, she started her fiber company Nor'easter Yarns, focusing on local and small farms. Nor'easter Yarns does it all; customized roving, hand spun yarns, commercial yarns (local wool, local mill in Hillsdale NY Nobletown Fireworks), knitting, and various coops with local businesses.
