Yarn is the basis of all fiber arts - knitting, crocheting and weaving alike. In order to understand how to put yarns together to make a textile, weavers need to understand the characteristics of the yarns. We will look at tools for yarn exploration, how to identify fiber content on mystery yarn, weight, twist, strengths and elasticity, among other characteristics. Most importantly, we will talk about why we should care about these characteristics. This class is also excellent for spinners who want to understand more about the yarn they are making, how it can be utilized, and how it can be made better. Materials for class:  clear tape and/or a stapler  scissors  a stiff ruler  a tape measure (preferably with cm)  a variety of yarns - A few yards of whatever you have around is fine. We can share. Variety is key here! If you have the labels, bring those along.

A granny square is like a plain sheet of paper. Sure, it comes in different colors, textures, sizes and weights however in and of itself, it’s not very exciting until you use it as an integral part of your creative process. During our two hour class we will explore the basic structure of a granny square as we make one traditional style square using a basic worsted weight wool. Our second square will not be a square at all, we’ll step it up as a more interesting polygon. You will leave the class with a new respect for the humble Granny square and how to bring it to life in your crochet journey. Pre-requisites: Ability to chain, single crochet, double crochet, knowledge of how to count stitches Materials: US H hook, worsted weight wool of a single color, 5 locking stitch markers (4 one color and 1 in a different color) please buy your class supplies at the store before the class begins
