Spinning Thick and Thin Beehives with Charan Sachar
About Spinning Thick and Thin Beehives with Charan Sachar
Thick and thin yarns are great when it comes to creating textured yarns and are one of my favorites to spin. In this class you will learn to spin thick and thin yarns with the intention of plying them into something magical. Using the thick and thin singles we will explore how to create Beehives. Skill level : Intermediate, Students should be familiar with their wheel, and be able to spin a continuous thread and make a plied yarn Optional Material Kit: $35 Kit includes: • 4 oz braid of Falkland wool • Ply thread. Note: Students can use material from their stash
Supplies, Equipment & Materials Needed for Class
• Wheel with a large orifice (1/2" or more) to accommodate textured yarns. A smaller size orifice on your wheel will work as well to learn the technique by scaling down the texture and might require some hand-winding the yarn on your bobbin.
