Week 2 - June 23-27 Wall Art Weaving / Yarn Dyeing & Spinning
$285.00
Wall Art Weaving (Morning) / Yarn Dyeing & Spinning (Afternoon)
Morning Session (10am-Noon): Fiber Artists will discover the basics of weaving using a flat table-top loom and wool yarn to create a beautiful wall hanging. Weavers will warp (set up) their Harrisville loom, perfect the plain weave, and finish their wall-hanging with multiple layers of fringe. Campers will take home their looms at the end of camp to continue weaving all year round!
Afternoon Session (1-3pm): Campers will use a drop spindle and learn basic hand-spinning techniques using wool pencil roving. On the second day of spinning, each will take turns learning to spin yarn on a traditional spinning wheel. During the next two days campers will explore the exciting adventure of dyeing wool yarn with color-safe dyes. Once dyed and set in the microwave, the yarn will be rinsed, hung to dry then wound on the swift/ball winder in preparation to knit or crochet. On the last day, campers will use their own colorful hand-dyed yarn to knit or crochet swatches of their newly created yarn.
