Heritage House Reformed Church 260 Main Street Schoharie, NY 12157 Gigi Matthews, a spinning instructor from Brooklyn, will teach “Making Concept Yarns,” a spinning workshop from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Heritage House, a few doors down Main Street from the Schoharie United Presbyterian Church, where The Golden Fleece Spinners and Weavers, a member organization of the Northeastern Handspinners Association (NHA), meet. Attendees will work from a concept that provides an easy template for color and texture choices so that they can make their own, unique, handspun yarn. Participants will also learn carding and spinning techniques while working with a variety of protein, cellulose, and reclaimed fibers. This workshop is appropriate for advanced beginners or above, who should be able to spin a stable single yarn with their own equipment. Participants will need to bring their own spinning wheel or spindles with all of the necessary accessories for spinning. Fibers for spinning will be provided and there will be a modest materials fee, the amount of which has yet to be determined. The workshop fee is $25 and is required to reserve your spot. Registration will open at The Golden Fleece Spinners and Weavers September meeting.
