Hand Cards, Not Just for Rolags
About Hand Cards, Not Just for Rolags
The old song says “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”. My version would be hand cards are a spinner’s best friend. Besides making rolags for woolen yarns there are many other ways of using hand cards and we will play with several and spin the yarns they create. It all depends on the fibers you use, how you dress the cards and the way you spin the yarn. Hand cards belong in every spinner’s basket even those who only spin prepared fibers.
Supplies, Equipment & Materials Needed for Class
• Wool hand cards about 72 teeth/inch
• Spinning wheel in good working condition and all its parts.
• 2-3 oz. of clean fleece: we will be prepping the fiber a couple of different ways.
• 3-4 oz. of dyed prepared fiber (if you just want yarn samples 2-3 oz. would be enough, but if you want to make a swatch or sample 3-4 oz. would be better).
