What You Will Learn?

  • Have you ever wished you could transform a stinky wooly sheep into something beautiful? Maybe you want some wool socks, or a set of felted dryer balls. Maybe you’ve been working with wool your whole life, but have never processed your own fiber. If so, this class is for you!.
  • My name is Eliza and I, along with my husband, have been raising our own sheep and processing our own fiber for the last 6 years. I’ve been knitting and playing with fiber since I was about 8 years old. My goal in creating this class is to make washing raw fleece easy and approachable for beginners.  .
  • We live in a world where there is often so much distance between the animal that produces a fiber and the person crafting with the fiber. I aim to close this distance a bit. My challenge to you is to get to know a local sheep through its fiber. .
