Member Update // Spinning Textured Yarns
After all of the fun filming and visiting with Debbie Held at the SOS studio last year, we’re delighted to share with you the lesson content at Spinning Textured Yarns!
Art yarns are stable, usable yarns that add texture to the cloth in which they’re used. 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.
Along with learning how to spin a variety of art yarn styles, Debbie shares her philosophy behind creating functional textured yarns and how to reimagine handspun projects. Have fun and experiment further, bringing texture to your own work as subtly or as boldly as you desire. We hope you come away from this course with a new appreciation for art yarns and their infinite potential.
Please share all the amazing art yarns you make in our Community Forums. If you are looking for fibres to work with, SweetGeorgia offers a selection of different hand-dyed braids and spinning mix-ins with your member discount!
