Chasing Rainbows: Unlocking the Spectrum

About Chasing Rainbows: Unlocking the Spectrum with Esther Rodgers

Choosing the way you blend color is really important to the technique you use to spin, and on the resulting yarn. There are a number of different ways to blend colors in fiber, and each one produces a different result. By starting with three primaries and two neutrals, students will learn different blending techniques using hand combs and hackles, as well as a drum carder and hand cards. Techniques for each tool will be taught, as well as general color blending and color theory. Tricks for adding sparkle and texture will also be shared.

This Fiber Arts Seminar is offered as part of the 2021 Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival and is limited to 20 students.


Class Materials Needed

Small fiber tools—hand combs, hand cards or blending boards. A hackle can also be used with a comb. A drum carder is not needed for this class. Materials kit purchased directly from instructor. Kit contains combed top in RBY (red, blue, yellow) and MCY (magenta, cyan, yellow) primaries, along with black and white for a total of 10 oz of fiber. Students will be able to blend at least 2 different color wheels, creating multiple tints and shades with fiber included in this kit. Materials kit will be an additional $40, and can be purchased directly from instructor. Ordering instructions for the materials kit will be available in Lessonface once you have enrolled. To allow enough time for the kit to arrive prior to the start of class, registration for this class will close on April 3.
