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.

This art batt by fatcatknitsdyer simply took my breath away.  It’s soft (BFL), sparkly, full of texture, and I haven’t quite experienced anything like it!

I’m celebrating the change of season by prepping fibre and getting it ready for spinning a fractal 2-ply yarn. I hope you join us in spinning for a project, plus share your spin-in progress with us and meet with new and old friends. You can join the spin-along at ANY time, so dive into your stash or visit the @sweetgeorgia shop to find some beautiful fibre (Felicia's handspun 3-ply fractal in BFL+Silk Salted Caramel is shown here) and spin along with us! ⁠
