If you plan to take part in the workshop (free to members, small charge for non-members) please bring the following items:

A selection of undyed natural animal (protein ) fibres, preferably white but pale colours may be dyed too.
Luggage tags/ labels/ plant labels on string to identify your fibres when they are soaking in the buckets.
Net washing bags to hold unspun fibres.
Apron
Gloves
Pen and notebook
Small plastic bags to carry home damp fibre samples (sandwich/ freezer bags)
Old towel to dry your hands
Large old towel to protect the floor from dye stains!

Yarn sample packs containing a selection of protein-based yarns will be available on the day at £3.00 per pack from Debbie.
An accessory pack including isposable apron, gloves and small bags will also be available for 50p.
