Some wild cocoons will be degummed (softened) before class and students will prepare the fibers with handcards for spinning. There will also be commercially prepared samples of semi wild silks to try. Some species are not usually spun; learn how these can be incorporated into fiber art. Materials fee includes samples of various species of silk cocoons, handout of world silk species, and fiber used in class.Students should bring: Spinning wheel or drop spindle, hand carders, scissors.

The Festival was started in order to provide a venue where wool producers, wool consumers and wool artisans could come together and share the excitement of working with sheep and their fantastic product – wool. Gradually, the Festival has grown to include other fiber animals such as angora rabbits, alpacas, and goats. \r\nThe Festival strives to be a family oriented event that is not only fun but educational. Numerous classes are offered in the fiber arts — geared for all levels of experience — from the beginner to the expert. \r\nEach year, we offer some classes in the less well known fiber arts so students can expand their crafts expertise Many vendors of fiber and fiber animal related products show their wares at the Festival through a juried selection of vendors of unique products. If it’s fiber related, you probably will find a vendor with just what you have been looking for." } ] } ] ```
