In this two-session class we will spin and ply yarn for a specific project — a cabled hat of your choice. We will suggest a couple free patterns from Ravelry, but the main idea is to spin yarn appropriate for the job of warming our heads in the cold weather, and of showing up nicely in a cabled pattern. However, if you have another hat pattern in mind, bring it and we can help you spin for that one.
In Session 1 (Sunday, November 2, 1-3:30pm) we will select our fiber (included in the cost of the class*) and start spinning, with the goal of creating some nice plump singles. We will then have two weeks to spin the rest of the fiber, with two FREE gatherings for more spinning help before our second class. Tuesday November 4th we spin at Mariam Café in Fishers from 6:30-8:00pm; Sunday November 9th we will spin during Open Studio at Color Me Happy (1-4pm). You are welcome to join us and bring your spinning and any questions you have.
In Session 2 (Sunday, November 16, 1-3:30pm) we will ply our yarn into a two-ply or three-ply yarn that will be perfect for your chosen pattern. We are aiming for an aran or bulky weight for the final yarn, so you can finish in time for the holidays (as a gift for yourself or someone else!).
Later in the month (Sunday, November 23), there will be an Open Studio at Color Me Happy for knitting together (and getting any help you may need with cables). This is optional, but we are here to help and have fun knitting together.
We have spinning wheels and storage bobbins that people can use, but if you have your own wheel, please bring it so you can spin on what you will be using at home.
*If you already have 4 ounces of fiber from Color Me Happy that you want to use for this project, we will refund you the $30 materials fee.
