all those fiber prep tools you see and hear about? Join Beth
Caldwell Are you thinking about buying a raw fleece and preparing it your self? Do you want to buy some equipment for fiber prep and do not know where to start? In this class you will have an opportunity to try various fibers and tools. You will be able to experiment and see which tools work best for which fibers. Please bring any tools you have and an open mind for experimenting and fun.

Making an PVC Niddy Noddy with Jean Horner
The Niddy Noddy is the tool used to skein yarn. Usually made of wood, the standard Niddy Noddy produces a skein of yarn measuring two yards each round. Sometimes you need something more durable than a nice wooden Niddy Noddy. A PVC Niddy Noddy can be twisted to lay flat or taken apart for easy storage. A PVC Niddy Noddy can withstand water and can be used for dying and setting of yarn. We will be making a set of PVC Niddy Noddys, the standard 2 yards and a 1 yard. They will have an interchangeable center bar. You will hear the history of the Niddy Noddy, learn to use your Niddy Noddy to make a skein, and the rhyme used to count your rounds. We will finish the class with dipping a sample skein of wool in an indigo dye pot while on the 1 yard Niddy Noddy. You will use a measuring tape, markers, a hand saw and sandpaper in the class and be exposed to an Indigo dye pot. All materials and tools to make the Niddy Noddys and dye and gloves for a sample skein will be included. You will need to bring a bobbin of light colored wool, approximately 25 yards, a spinning wheel or lazy kate. You will leave the class with a cd containing the materials list, instructions, history, and video on winding a skein with your PVC Niddy Noddy. Class Size: Min 3, Max 10 Materials Fee: $20.00 |
