Decoding Designer Yarns with Patsy Z We untwist commercial yarns to see how they did what they did. Recreating a novelty style yarn can be frustrating unless you understand the fundamentals of yarn structure. This class will help you to dissect and decode a number of plain and fancy yarns to see the twist, size and variety of plies used in the construction of each yarn. Each student will receive Patsy's original yarn decoder to examine yarns in class. Using a method of shorthand we will record the number of twists and plies so the yarns can be spun later at home. Class size: Max 15 Materials Fee: $35 |

Spinning Cotton with Janet Petty The class will cover the preparation of cotton by carding. Students will make rolage and punis and spin from them to create thread. We will not spin cotton roving in this class. Wheels will be adjusted for tension and draw-in to accommodate cotton’s short staple length and faster treadling.

Dyeing Cellulose Fibers with Gwen Witherspoon This students will receive written instructions and hands on cotton yarn dyeing . The colors of MX Fiber Reactive dyes used will be the primary colors. And students will be encouraged to create secondary dye color mixes. Students will be encouraged to choose to make a self striping yarn with long color runs or spot dyeing with short color runs by painting the yarn in plastic trays which will be provided. Or, students may opt to make a solid color using plastic bags. This is a low water application that can be used for all cellulose fibers--yarn or fiber. Students will need to take the material home and rinse after 24 to 48 hours. There will not be enough time to batch the material. All dye solutions, additives, yarn, and instruction folders will be provided in the materials fee. Students would be responsible for providing good rubber gloves, wear clothes that dyeing will not harm and/or a very good apron. Students will need to bring a plastic container large enough to hold the yarn while batching and to take the yarn home. I suggest a plastic bowl at least 15 " diameter or a 5 gallon plastic bucket. Since the dye will be in solution, not powder, masks will not be required. Materials Provided by Instructor 3 ounces of un-dyed cotton yarn, peaches and cream, or similar. Dye solutions for red, blue, yellow and black. Plastic bags and plastic trays . Small folder of instructions. Plastic spoons to apply the solution to the yarn. Clear plastic wrap for dyed material. Miscellaneous additives such as soda ash, synthrapol and salt. Class size: Min: 5 Max: 20 Material Fee: $25 |
