Spinning friends, especially Michigan Fiber Festival friends, I need a few more inquiring minds.
I am seeking more curious students to sign in for the Saturday workshop,
CSI: Yarns and Fibers - Are You Up to the Challenge?
This is a very informative fun workshop. I hope you are ready for sleuthing and solving the mysteries of fibers and yarns. You may even have some unlabeled and unknown fibers or yarns in your own stash. Some of us call these “UBBFYs or “Unidentified Bags or Balls of Fluff or Yarn.”
It's a new class with rave reviews in California where students left very excited about all they learned and how they can put it to good use. I'll be bringing my digital microscope, to help you get a close look at the fiber. Guess what fiber is shown on the top slide. If you are still puzzling over the answer, the bottom slide is even closer. We will also learn the other methods for identifying fibers.

On Friday, which I know is the first shopping day, (but I do give you early shopping time), is the very popular, Handspinning Options for Painted Rovings. This workshop teaches you how to quickly make various yarn styles with that specially painted roving. This allows you to consider which 1, 2, or 3 yarns you want for the project, using very little fiber or time. You'll also gain a better perspective for making or choosing painted roving combinations.
If you want to get in either class call or log in quick because they are thinking of canceling the class. By the way, the fiber is brown cotton.
