The cost of the full-day workshop is $125 for Members/$145 for non-Members\, with $10 material cost for all.\nJoin us for a very special spinning workshop with Deborah Robson\, author of  The Fleece & Fiber Sourcebook\, as she guides us through a breed study of some of the flocks found in our NJ Fibershed. \nLet’s explore the wool being grown by sheep in the New Jersey Fibershed. With a half-dozen or so clean fleeces from nearby\, we’ll discuss\, try different preparations\, and spin. While excellent wool is grown here\, and we’ll certainly experience some\, other samples might be wools that would frequently be overlooked but that warrant our attention. Breed-specific and crossbred wools all welcome.
