In this class, students will begin with a local raw sheep fleece, and complete all steps necessary to turn it into a naturally dyed yarn weaving. The class will take place over the course of three days of hands-on learning, with lunches included. Some class time will be spent outdoors (as weather allows) and some indoors. Students will sort and wash the raw fleece, card and hand spin the wool into yarn on drop spindles, then naturally dye the yarn and weave it on frame looms. All materials will be provided, as well as extensive handouts to guide you through the process, with tips offered throughout so you can complete the tasks at home.

Materials: All materials and tools will be provided to the students for the duration of this class. Students will get to take home their drop spindle, naturally dyed yarns, and a frame loom with weaving tools alongside the weaving they create in the course.
