Curious about spinning with silks but you don’t know where to start? RELAX and spend a few hours carding and blending silks into luxe rolags, punis, and puni-rolags, for smooth or lightly textured spinning.
Students will be working with a wide assortment of silks including tussah, red eri, peduncle, tassar, organic noil, muga, and more, all sourced from India and China, plus silken alpaca and fine wool.
Debbie Held is a freelance writer and the author of The Spinner’s Blending Board Bible: From Woolen to (Nearly) Worsted, and an international fiber arts instructor. She writes recurring spinning-related content for Spin Off in print and on the web as well as for PLY, Farm & Fiber Knits, Little Looms, and more, and she’s an online spinning instructor for the School of SweetGeorgia.
