Fiber BlendingJanuary

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.
