The Bouclé technique is a useful and easy way to make
unique beautiful yarn and not difficult to learn. It incorporates fibres that
are hardly spun at all, into stable finished yarns, using fine thread such as
silk or cotton. If you have some fibre sitting around that is just beautiful
but don't you can't decide what to do with it, then Boucle may be the answer.
Suitable fibre is dyed merino tops in varying colours or a long staple lustrous
fleece such as Wensleydale. If you are not sure just bring what fibre you have
(if anything!), I will make sure we have all the ncessary 'ingredients' to learn
the technique make a useful swatch. SpinningSchool starts at 1.30 on Tuesday 12th June in
Stoke Albany Village hall preceded by lunch or a drink in the Fox Inn,
Wilbarston from 12noon. Fee is £15 and includes tea, coffee and
cake.
