It’s just “what we do” to our singles. However\, plying is a specific skill set for the handspinner and an important tool in the design and construction of handspun yarns. We can ply for a specific yarn structure; to create a unique yarn design; to blend fibers; and to build color. We’ll explore all these plying skills and more during our class\, creating a wide-ranging palette of your own custom handspun yarns. \nThis class is being taught at The Clearing in Ellison Bay\, (Door County) WI.

We will begin by weaving a rep runner. Then you’ll design your own rep weave pattern and plan and weave additional project(s) of your choice. \nPlease note that this class is offered through Sievers School of Fiber Arts and you must register through them at the website listed below.

We will explore how to apply color theory in your yarns and how one color adjustment can change the whole look of your spun yarn. If you have previously taken the Spinner’s Color Workshop\, this will be “part two” with all new color experiments to add to your design tool kit. (Note that the first color workshop is not a requirement to participate in Workshop II.) \nBeginning spinning experience is necessary\, but you don’t need to be an expert to take this class. “Early career spinners” are welcome! \nPlease note that this class is being offered through The Clearing Folk School.
