COURSE OVERVIEW:

Gather around for an evening of fiber, conversation, and discovery. Through hands-on swatching, knitted samples, and guided discussion, we’ll explore the many ways makers evaluate yarn—from durability and warmth to softness, drape, sustainability, and simple joy. Rather than a deep dive into individual breeds, this workshop offers a broad introduction to the factors that influence our fiber choices, including fiber content, yarn construction, care requirements, and intended use. Expect a welcoming atmosphere where curiosity is encouraged and every yarn has something to teach.
