In this workshop, we will first discuss some principles of carding: safety, how to
add fiber to the drum (without excess waste), and how to doff the fiber once it’s blended. Then we will talk about the different kinds of fiber you might want to blend and why. We will also discuss the goals for each student, whether they
want to decoratively process fleeces, or just blend processed fibers for
decorative results. Finally, we will get hands-on! Each student will have the
opportunity to card a small batt or set of rolags with guidance and advice from
the instructor. You will leave this class with 2 ounces of material ready to be spun and the knowledge to create infinitely more! Age 15 years or older.
