Colour & Yarn: Understanding Your Yarn Part 3 at Fiber Friday with Caroline Sommerfeld via ZOOM!

Colour is a subject that can be challenging to approach when faced with the vast selections of colours available to the modern stitcher.
In this class we will examine the various styles of hand dyed yarn and how each dye style behaves when knit or crocheted. The next challenge is how to choose colours for a project and this class will give students the tools and know how to confidently choose and put colours together for the perfect project!
The Fibre Content in Yarns Series with Caroline Sommerfeld can be taken as a series of classes or you can select the topics of your interest.

Instructor Bio: | Caroline has always been fascinated by fibres and yarn and demanded to learn to knit when she was four, which kicked off a lifelong passion for all things knitting and yarn! Knitting was quickly followed by embroidery, crochet, hand dyeing, rug hooking, tatting, bobbin lace and later spinning and weaving. Spinning brought with it the opportunity to learn more about the properties of fibres and yarn design and learning to spin launched thirty years of intensive study about fibre and how yarn is made, a study that goes on to this day. As a hand spinner she has worked with well over 100 breeds of wool from all over the world and has greatly enjoyed researching the history of sheep and spinning technology through the centuries. Caroline is the founder and creative director of Ancient Arts Fibre Crafts where she uses her passion and deep knowledge of fibre to design the custom yarns and colour ways sold by her company. The company focuses on sustainable, eco-friendly, and heritage fibres and practices to create purpose driven yarns, designed to provide the best experience possible while at the same time promoting these values. Caroline also works as a knit designer, appearing in various publications including Vogue Knitting, Interweave Knits, and Wool Studio, and is also published through Ancient Arts Fibre Crafts. Caroline is an avid fibre artist who incorporates stories into all her work and loves nothing more than to share her passion for fibres, yarn, history, and knitting with other people through teaching! |
