Why spin for socks? Socks only require about 4 oz of fiber, they are a great way to experiment with color, fibers and patterns, and yes -  they are comfortable, durable and beautiful! Nothing compares to  handspun, hand knit sock! 

In this workshop we will spin different wools and blends, ply and discuss what makes a good sock yarn and why. 

Level of experience: Open to all who can spin a yarn.

Materials Provided by Instructor: 1 oz each of BFL, Polwarth/mohair/silk top and Merino/silk tops (or similar fibers), handouts. 

Materials Provided by Student: Spinning wheel in good working order, 2 extra bobbins, lazy kate and niddy noddy. Open to e-spinners and spindlers as well. 

Homework: None
