The texture issue!

Join us for a deep dive into intentional texture, from smooth to slubby, silky to fuzzy. Explore ways to create, adapt, and use texture in your fibers, yarns, and finished textiles. Try creating handspun halo from four luxury fibers. Be inspired by 10 cabled-yarn variations. And learn how to avoid (or add!) slubs in your yarn.

• Use heavy, textural handspun interspersed with fine yarns to weave a sophisticated wrap.
• Combine yarns of different grists for gorgeous translucent knits.
• See how to turn cordage by hand using corn husks, flax, garlic leaves, and other plant material.
