Back to Basics: Washing and Prepping Fleece

Have you been wanting to buy a sheep fleece to use in your fibre work but don’t know where to start once you have it? This class is for you! We are going to learn different methods of washing a sheep’s fleece and once it is dried we will work on different ways of preparing the locks so that they are ready for use in projects such as spinning or felting.

This is a hands-on class where you will be doing each step of working with a fleece. The class will cover the parts of a fleece, bulk washing and dip washing and fibre prep techniques of teasing, flick carding, hand-carding and combing.
