About 6 months ago I posted 36 by 36 which is a list of 36 things I'd like to accomplish by the time I turn 36. I was inspired to do this after seeing a couple of other bloggers with similar lists. The idea was to do as many as I could and then carry over to 37 by 37 what I couldn't do by 36. I decided to make this list when 36 was half over anyway! This list has always been in the back of my mind and every now and then I remember to work towards some of my goals.
One of my goals was to learn a new spinning technique. Craftsy.com released a class called Spinning Dyed Fibers with Felicia Lo. Felicia is the creator of Sweet Georgia Yarns and a Canadian gal! I have worked with dyed fiber for a while, but I have never officially taken a spinning course. I am a self taught spinner, picking up a few tips and tricks from magazines and other more accomplished spinners.
I very much enjoyed this class and learned a few techniques like Navajo ply, fractal spinning, how to spin off batts, how to make a carded batt, and many different techniques for getting different results from dyed fibre. Also, how to avoid spinning dyed fibre into mud if you don't want mud. I loved the class, it was so informative and beautifully instructed.
