On Saturday, Oct 10, we will offer the first in a series of workshops for learning how to take a raw alpaca fleece and turn it into yarn. This first workshop will be a hands-on fiber skirting session. Bring your own fleece or purchase one of ours at a discounted price. We’ll focus on skirting for processing into yarn, but will also discuss skirting for show. We’ll talk about how to wash the fleece and participants will receive handouts so they can wash their fleece at home in preparation for further processing.
Subsequent workshops will be offered for carding and combing fiber to prepare for handspinning. Beginning handspinning workshops will be offered after the first of the year.
