You will be getting several informative emails from her.

You've mastered the basics and like Amelia, your goal is sock yarn. Everyone has several of your handspun hats and those you love may even have a handspun sweater (or three!). Socks make sense: socks wear out so there will always be a need for more socks.

Amelia will share with you the knowledge and skills that took her over a decade to figure out in her goal to spin amazing sock yarn: choosing fiber, thin enough singles to 3-ply sockweight, how, when, and how much twist to use, and finishing your yarn for socks. Once you have that down, we will explore why and when other yarn structures might be helpful. And along the way, we will discuss striping in socks.

Students should already be able to spin a consistent single and ply - this is not a beginner class. You will want to have your espinner in working condition (any flyer), wool top, and if you want to play with blends then hand-cards and some nylon, mohair, or other fibers to blend with your wool.

Note: this is a Zoom workshop; we record classes for student use only.

 Join Amelia Garripoli for a 2 hour spinning lesson with 9 other students on Zoom. There will be time for questions.
