Workshop: Breed Specific Yarn for your Fibre Arts Practice

with Anna Hunter

Each breed of sheep produces a distinct type of wool for knitting and crochet.  Understanding the qualities and characteristics of these breeds will inform and accentuate your knitting. Texture, colourwork, cables and drape are all affected by the unique wool breeds.

This workshop will give a brief overview of some accessible single-breed wools and the variety they can offer to your knitting.  We will also briefly explore the history and tradition of these single-breed wools.

Thursday Oct 2 from 2 – 4pm

Black Creek Community Centre,  2001 Black Creek Rd, Black Creek, BC
