It All Starts with a Fleece with Maggie Casey
About It All Starts with a Fleece with Maggie Casey
It all starts with the fleece! We will open one up and do some skirting and talk about what you should look for when choosing a fleece. We’ll talk about washing a fleece and then do some carding and combing and spin woolen and worsted to see how the yarn grows up. You’ll have enough fleece to knit samples with your yarn.
