Know your fleece<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a lot of hard work and a long launch period it is finally Launch Day. I wanted to make a course in wool knowledge<\/strong> that takes its starting point in the characteristics of the fleece you have<\/strong> in front of you. A breed can have typical breed characteristics, but it is the fleece you have that you will work with and get to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this course you work with a fleece that you have chosen. With the help of inspirational video material and structured assignments you will explore, analyze, empower, plan and experiment<\/strong> with your fleece to get to know it. You work with your fleece<\/strong>, at your skill level<\/strong>, with the tools you have<\/strong> access to and as extensively as you like<\/strong>. I provide inspiration, my experience, my perspective on wool and a structure to work within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have finished the course you will feel more confident in handling raw fleece and planning the process from fleece to textile. You will know how your fleece feels, behaves and how it wants to be spun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five sheep breeds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Through the course you will get to know five Swedish sheep breeds \u2013 Gotland<\/strong> sheep, Gute<\/strong> sheep, Kl\u00f6vsj\u00f6<\/strong> sheep, Helsinge<\/strong> sheep and Dalap\u00e4ls<\/strong> sheep. Three of these breeds are presented as webinars that I have streamed during the past couple of years. You may have seen them, but for the course I have edited them and added pictures, keywords and captions. For the two remaining breeds I have made new videos where I present how I prepare, spin and use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Championships tour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I will also take you on a tour of the Swedish fleece championships of 2019<\/strong> together with my spinning friend Anna Lindemark. We go through the fleeces in the championships, category by category, and look at what is unique to the breeds and to the individual fleeces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
