Color Blending – Let Me Count the Ways
About Color Blending – Let Me Count the Ways
There are many ways to blend pre-dyed fibers together to create different colors (optical blends). In this workshop, we will play with different blending methods (including blending boards, combs, drum carders†, hackles, handcards, and blending directly at the wheel) to determine the best way to create just the yarn that you want for your color work projects. We will discuss blending different types of fibers together to create additional color effects and ways to transfer this knowledge to blending larger amounts of fiber for larger projects.
The capacity for this class is 20 students.
