Class Description: Maybe you fell for a “free fleece” that turned out to be a mess, or you’re holding onto a sentimental fleece that you just don’t know how to handle. This hands-on class is all about problem-solving with what you have—no fleece grading, just practical techniques to turn challenging wool into something spinnable. Learn how to deal with excessive VM, felted bits, inconsistent texture, and other common issues. Then, explore how to match your spinning approach to the fiber’s quirks, so you can turn even the most questionable fleece into a yarn worth keeping! Bring your fleece and tools you’d want to use and we’ll dive in!
