Sheep to Skein Course in Liverpool - New dates coming in September
Our Sheep to Skein Weekly Workshop is an 8 week course running from preparing a fleece to spinning it and using it in a woven project. It runs each Monday from 1.30 till 3.30. Join any Monday and meet like minded people who will share your enthusiasm
What's covered on the course?
Each session lasts two hours and over the 8 weeks we will cover the following elements:
- Sheep fibre and how different breeds can be used in different ways
- How to wash a fleece
- How to card using hand carders and a drum carder
- How to spin on a wheel
- Different ways of plying yarn
- How to warp up a rigid heddle loom
- How to weave using your handspun yarn
We will work at your pace so there is no pressure and you can take your time mastering each part. After the 8 weeks you can carry on on a rolling weekly basis. Take a look at the blog post about the course here

'After 2 classes out of the 8 week course I am very pleased and impressed. Cathy is an excellent teacher responsive to the wishes of the class and very personal and professional. All equipment is provided and the venue is easily accessible (Ryde cafe close and well priced) parking easy with large car park opposite. All in all excellent and I look forward to the rest of the course) Jane D
