EVENT Perfect your Carding Techniques
Make the best of your hand cards and drum carder to prepare your fibres in the best way possible.
Service Description
For spinners, achieving beautifully consistent yarn—whether smooth, textured, or embellished—starts with well-prepared fibres. In this workshop, you’ll discover how fibre preparation enhances your spinning experience, setting you up for success right from the start. Once you experience how simple and satisfying carding can be, you’ll see it as an essential and enjoyable part of the spinning process. I can’t wait to share this with you! What We’ll Cover: You’ll learn how to use hand carders to transform wool locks into soft, airy rolags, perfect for English Long Draw spinning. We’ll also dive into using a drum carder, creating large, lofty batts and a continuous sliver directly from the carder with a diz. Say goodbye to nepps and noils in your carded fibres! After preparing your fibres, we’ll spin with them to explore how different techniques influence your hand spinning, giving you a clear sense of how preparation shapes the final yarn. Who Should Attend: This workshop is ideal for anyone who has found fibre preparation a bit mysterious or challenging. Whether you’re new to spinning or looking to refine your prep skills, you’ll leave with greater confidence and new techniques to enhance your spinning. What’s Included: We’ll provide all equipment needed, but feel free to bring your own tools if you prefer. Refreshments, including homemade cakes, biscuits, fresh fruit, and beverages, will be served. Just bring a packed lunch. I look forward to welcoming you for a day of fibre fun and spinning discovery! Warm regards, Theresa
