Breed Sampler

  • Magpie Fibers Flagship 154 North Market Street Frederick, MD, 21701 United States (map)

Fine wool, medium, down, long, primitive - these words are thrown around but what do they mean? With so many breeds of sheep available to us and new ones popping up every day, how do you choose the right one?

We’ll explore spinning wool from these umbrella terms as well as their characteristics and common uses to help you make more informed decisions for your next project. We'll discuss facets like luster, crimp and micron count and do some demonstrations of how to begin tackling these different fibers.

This class comes with a curated fiber sample for experimentation, further study and play.
