Inspired by Tweed: Blending and Spinning for Complex Color

Kate Larson

Sunday All Day

Tweed fabrics often draw us in with their complex colors and wooly texture, but the subdued hues of most tweeds often begin as a collection of shockingly vibrant colors. Join us as we explore the intersection of easy color theory, spinning fibers, and history. We will use dyed locks, rovings, and combed tops to make our own blends, yarns, and textile inspirations.

Skill Level:Ability to spin and ply a basic yarn.
