Fibre Prep Workshop at Ariadne Knits

Have you ever been to a Fibre Festival and seen those enormous bags of fleece, but don’t know what to do with them? Find out at our Fibre Prep Workshop with Leslie, Saturday July 19 from 1 - 4pm!

Learn how to turn a raw fleece into spinnable fibre in this workshop. You’ll learn about choosing and washing a raw fleece, preparing it for spinning using handcards and combs, and how different preparations are suited for different types of spinning. We’ll be working with raw and cleaned wool and a variety of fibre prep tools. If you have your own handcards or wool combs, feel free to bring them to the workshop, as well as your spindle or wheel if you’d like to try spinning your prepared fibre right away! Course fee includes all fibre and notes to take home.

The course fee is $55.00 (air conditioning included!) and the class is limited to 6. Sign up online, call us on 514 932 0770 or come on by to sign up!
