Thursday, September 10th, 1 - 4pm (3hrs)
In this workshop we will start with the basic concept and methods needed to create a core spun yarn. Once these feel more familiar we will look at the following: the types of cores that can be used and why you might choose them, the types of fibre preparations and which ones create the core spun you are after, and methods for mitigating twist.
Ages 16+, must be able to spin a consistent singles yarn
Students Bring to Class: A spinning wheel, 2-3 bobbins, niddy noddy, wheel maintenance items, lazy kate, drop spindle
Price Breakdown: $20 materials fee includes wool and core yarns, $72 workshop fee
Meet the Instructor: Kara Perpelitz, SpinHeartSpin Handspun Yarns and Fibre Arts
Kara Perpelitz is a Master Spinner (2017) and Fibre Artist who has lived in some part of Saskatchewan her entire life. When she first discovered hand spun yarns over 15 years ago, she certainly didn’t see it becoming a passion. This passion has led to writing, teaching, and creating art out of yarn. This passion for yarn lead to passion for fibre work in general. She explores the concept of place and connection through fibre arts, using manipulations such as spinning yarn, felting, dyeing, printing, sewing and more.
