Ever since someone long ago picked up two sticks and some string and knit the first loops, people have been dreaming up new ways to create textured knits.

Join Darla and Mark from Warp and Woolens to explore spinning with a drop spindle. Learn how to use a top whorl, bottom whorl or Turkish spindle, from making a leader, to spinning, and plying. You'll be amazed at how fun and easy it is to make your own yarn!

"Join us as we learn a new technique involving tufts of unspun roving to make tiny heart shapes (for Valentine's Day) on the outside, and a warm woolen lining. This hat is made with ?thrums? which creates a warm, fluffy interior to your knit that will keep the coldest of heads warm, and that you can then use to make any other hat or mitten pattern written for this method. Or if you prefer to jump in with mittens then bring in a pattern and yarn of your choosing - the technique is the same."

Join us for an updated version of this popular knitting class, now with a fresh approach focusing on beading and enhanced finishing techniques. This revamped class incorporates the innovative methods featured in my dragon design collections, I Am Dragon Remix , I Am Dragon II Remix and I Am Dragon III Remix and others.
