“ROVINGS: are long, continuous strands of wool fibers that haven’t yet been spun into yarn. They are essentially prepared yarn fibres in pre-yarn stage”

Time: 12:30PM to 3:30PM

Location: Skein Machine Yarn Store, 3/276 Shepherds Hill Rd, Eden Hills, Adelaide, 5050

WORKSHOP:

The workshop will consist of a discussion about knitting with rovings, why certain ones work well and others do not.

YOU WILL LEARN:

* How to divide your rovings into strands that are suitable for knitting.

* How to join and hide ends

* How to deal with thick and thin sections of roving

* Choose suitable patterns and techniques

And of course the most important bit casting on and knitting a beanie, scarf or cowl.

This can be the participants choice.

STUDENTS TO BRING:
