6 hour workshop: Friday 1-4 to Saturday 9-12
Have you found yourself in the situation of needing more than a couple bobbins full of handspun, wondering if there isn’t a faster way to do this? Do you want to tackle large projects and hesitate to do so because you think the task will mean you will be treadling the same yarn for “years”?! The focus of this lively presentation is to present productive techniques and to review old, perhaps not so productive, habits and make new choices. A small change can result in more yarn.
