Each breed of sheep produces a distinct type of wool for knitting and crochet. Understanding the qualities and characteristics of these breeds will inform and accentuate your knitting. Texture, colourwork, cables and drape are all affected by the unique wool breeds.
This workshop will give a brief overview of some accessible single-breed wools and the variety they can offer to your knitting. We will also briefly explore the history and tradition of these single-breed wools.
This workshop can be done virtually or in person.
If offered in person this workshop is hands on, participants will be able to touch, and experiment with more than a dozen breeds in their different forms (raw, carded, spun).
