SUMMARY:Fiber School: Fiber Across the Wheel - Flock Fiber Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:About this class:Based on an article written for Ply Magazine\, we will explore multiple fibers of all types individually to experience how they behave ‘across the wheel’. In this class we will start in our comfy Merino box and then blast into the world of unusual fibers made by plants\, animals\, (and maybe even scientists!) discovering the attributes we are looking for to add some zest to our spinning and maybe even to blend with some of our favorite ‘wheelhouse’ fibers. Students are encouraged to bring blending boards and hand cards to experiment with blending fibers in the final portion of the class. \n\n\n\nLevel: Beginner \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll need to bring to class: Students should make arrangements to bring (or borrow) a working spinning wheel or spindles.

SUMMARY:Sheep School: Fleece Selection\, Scouring and Troubleshooting - Flock Fiber Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:About this class:Ever gone to a fiber festival\, somehow blacked out and found a fleece in your car when you got home? Have you wondered a fleece show and seen an inexpensive fleece and thought “It’s so cheap! I could totally process that myself!” only to shove it in the garage because it was a daunting task and you lost your nerve? Join us as we discuss the what\, where and how of fleece selection\, and then practice scouring wool together. We WILL likely get wet\, so wear old clothes\, but we WILL have fun discussing methods for scouring and getting confident with the process of removing lanolin without accidentally creating felt. Students are encouraged to bring samples of fleeces in their collections to discuss with the class. Have a problem fleece you’re trying to save? Maybe we can help! Just need someone to ooo and aaaah over it so you get motivated again? We can do that too! \n\n\n\nLevel: Beginner \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll need to bring to class:Old clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting wet\, any samples or fleeces you’ve purchased or been given that you’d like to evaluate (not mandatory!)
