Felting with your Favorite Breed

  Title: Felting with your Favorite Breed
Instructor:  Lavonne Stucky
Length: ½ day
Class Date: Saturday, June 16
Class Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Description:

As we know, different breeds of sheep have different fibers.  Some felt easily and others, well, join me in a study of wet-felting wool from different breeds of sheep and let’s see!   Each student will be given a bag of washed wool from a different breed of sheep.  With that single breed, each person will be wet felting it into a useful square or rectangle to use as you wish.

Please note:  This requires some hand motion and rolling, patting, etc.

If you have your own favorite breed and would like to bring your own wool, please contact Lavonne no later than one month before the class and let her know what you will be bringing.

Level: 

Everyone

Materials Fee: $25  If you are providing your own wool, materials are $5.


Students Should Bring:
  • Their own fiber, if desired. Breed to be approved by me so we don’t have too many of the same.  Alternatively, instructor could select 12 breeds and each student receives a different breed of wool to felt.
  • A big, absorbent towel
