Welcome to Spinning Intentional Colour

In this course, instructor Felicia Lo Wong teaches you how to develop a functional, working understanding of colour and how it affects our spinning.

It’s one thing to know how to spin and make beautiful and colourful yarn, and it’s a whole other thing to know just how that yarn will work up into cloth. If you want the colours to appear in the cloth in a certain way, then you can work backwards to figure out how you want to spin the fibre. 

Throughout this course, you will learn:

  • how colour is affected by spinning
  • recognize essential colour theory vocabulary: hue, saturation, value, and temperature
  • how to make a “muddy” skein so we can intentionally choose to avoid, or embrace, the mixing and blending of colour
  • how our spinning decisions affect our colour results and also produce different kinds of yarn

By the end of the class, we hope you will have more confidence in your skills and abilities to spin colour with intention. Bring any fibre to the course or purchase some from SweetGeorgia Yarns.

Embracing imperfection(in other words, trying really hard not to be grumpy about your inconsistent yarn🫠).
This is my first spin in my life and actually I enjoyed it immensely. I couldn’t stop for 4 hours.

I purchased a handmade suspended spindle for the first time in my life! Handmade wooden crafts make my heart sing. 
ついにお迎えしてしまいました!ドロップスピンドル。
CreemaのクラフトSATOさんというお店で手作りのものを購入させていただきました。
おまけで、綿花と、オーガニックコットンの種まで!!本当にうれしいです。
羊毛だけでなく、コットンやシルクもつむげるようになりたい!と夢だけは大きく。
ところで、つむぎ用の羊毛ってどこで買うのがいいんだろうか…色々これから調べてみます

If you’re wondering how textured yarns differ from art yarns… they don’t. All art yarns are stable, usable yarns that can add texture, however bold or subtle, to the cloth in which they’re used.

Over at the upcoming Spinning Textured Yarns, instructor Debbie Held @doodler01 will teach SOS spinners about spinning a variety of art yarn styles and have you coming away from the course with a new appreciation for these classic, textured yarns and their infinite potential. The yarns in this course are truly timeless and they’re presented in a skill-building, logical order that’s meant to inspire you in your own application. Visit the course page now to find the materials list to get your supplies ready for the lesson launch on June 7th!

April has been BUSY and I noticed that my monthly FOs tend to reflect how busy my work schedule is.  My #freshstartheadband is my only FO for this month so far and it makes sense, but it's funny how spot on it is! 🙈  Do you notice this with your knits also?⁣
⁣
After finally finishing the Warm Neutrals pre-order I had a lot of other deadlines to meet.  Finalising my advent colorways was a huge goal for me this month (which I finished! 🎉) along with some wholesale orders and getting the Wanderlust 2022 Favorites together (which are coming in May!). On top of that, my parents are visiting, there is school vacation, and we are taking a small trip to London.  Luckily, I think I'll redeem some knitting time while my parents are here and while we are on vacation, so it should balance a bit in the end! 😊⁣
