Wool Processing – Scouring and Carding
About This Event
Working with fibre lover, Fred Porchez from ‘WishEweWereHere,’ you will learn how to process a selection of different breeds of wool.
He will show you how to:
- identify different kinds of wool and other fibres
- learn how to scour, pick, comb and card the fluffy stuff
- be shown how to make a ball of yarn using a traditional drop spindle
- try out a spinning wheel
- finally you will be given the opportunity to spin your own yarn
You are welcome to bring your own tools, and seek guidance on how to use them.
