SUMMARY:Working with Farm Yarns and Intro to the Dye Garden\, with Gayle Ravenscroft
DESCRIPTION:Learn the distinct and special value\, texture\, and project possibilities of working with wool from local ranches and special wool breeds! \nDate\nSeptember 14\, 2025 \n10am – 4pm PST \n  \nLocation\nFibershed Learning Center \n14000 Point Reyes Petaluma Road \nPoint Reyes Station\, CA \n  \nAbout the Event\nJoin us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center with expert knitter\, Gayle Ravenscroft of Pacific Knitting Retreats\, for a class on working with ‘farm yarns.’ \n‘Farm yarns’ are yarns that are produced locally by our Fibershed shepherds on their ranches. These yarns offer unique characteristics that are tied to their origins and cannot be replicated in mass production. \nSome of the topics Gayle will discuss are: \n\nWhy knitters should consider ‘farm yarns\,’ and in particular\, yarns from their local Fibershed\nHow to find farm yarns\nProjects that are particularly suitable for farm yarns and why\nWool breed specificity (including heritage breeds) and how using different ones can add a special dimension to your craft.\n\nStudents will have ‘hands-on-needles’ knitting time with a variety of these yarns in person. The workshop will last two hours from 10am-12pm\, followed by a guided walk of the dye garden and a catered picnic lunch supplied by the instructor. \nNote! – There will be a separate afternoon field trip from 1-4pm that is connected to this workshop. To get a sneak peek into the local wool ranch\, Alpacas of Marin\, sign up at the link here : Sign up for the afternoon Ranch Visit ***\n***This portion of the event is hosted by the instructor\, and is NOT hosted through Fibershed. For all inquiries about the wool ranch visit\, please contact the instructor via the ‘ranch visit’ link above. \nParticipants must bring: \n\nKnitting needles (We will be working with yarns ranging in weight from Sport to Worsted in various styles\, so select sizes accordingly. Gauge is irrelevant so whatever you would facilitate freedom to experiment with is appropriate.)\nOther knitting tools\, if you have them\nThe instructor will be supplying a catered lunch\, details to confirmed after registration for lunch choice options. Coffee and tea will be provided on site.\nPlease bring any of your own additional personal snacks\, lunch\, and beverages.\nA notebook and pen for note taking is encouraged.\n\nMaximum 15 students. \nRSVP Now
