I just listed the Wild and Crazy Weaving class on my website. I’ve been thinking about this awhile, but finally got it done just in time to advertise it at Lambtown coming up October 4-5. I met the creator of Art Fiber Frenzy yarns a couple of years ago at Black Sheep Gathering in Oregon. It turns out that she lives in Sacramento, not far from me, and she will be at Lambtown again this year.

When you closely at this yarn you will see that the random lengths of yarn are tied together. I don’t think the intent was to use this for warp, but that is all that I see. I have figured out the method to turn this into a warp.

The first step is to wind a ball.

This is a step where you don’t want to be sloppy. It was manageable, but not as fun to work with this yarn after my ball turned into many connected balls.

It’s the step of winding warp for which I have developed the best way to deal with the yarn–not just the knots, but all the yarns of different character.

And there is the consideration of sett and weft yarn.

Purchase a skein of yarn from Art Fiber Frenzy and sign up for my class to learn how to weave with it. I have listed one class to teach about a month after Lambtown but plan to teach other sessions of this next year.
