WORKSHOP: Farm to fiber
A Two-day wool processing workshop at Sugarfield
With Julia Hames
In this two-day workshop, participants will turn Sugarfield’s own Romney fleece into hand-spun yarn and felt. The workshop begins with a shearing demo and participants will work with fiber right off the animal. Julia will shepherd the class through the steps of wool processing and natural dying. It’s a great workshop for fiber lovers of all kinds - beginner or experienced - spinner, knitter, weaver, felter, and farmer! This workshop is the perfect opportunity to form a greater understanding of the way wool works. It’s hands-on, meditative, and a way to engage with local ecosystems and fiber suppliers.
Additional fleeces available for purchase.
