But do you know the full range of things your hand carders can do for you? Join me in this class to learn how to:
- make bouncy rolags from unprocessed fibre;
- combine fibres with wool (such as alpaca and silks);

Along the way you will learn sound ergonomic practices so you can hand card all day without hurting yourself. And you will want to; it’s that much fun!
