Learn how to spin Treasure Yarn from left over scraps of wool, luster fibers, ribbons, fabrics, locks, hand more! If you have been saving your scraps and wondering what you can make with them, this is it! Joyce will show you how to sort your fibers, and hand card magical little fluffy batts using hand carders. These little, colorful batts will then be handspun into gorgeous and wild art yarns.

We also like to call them Kitchen Sink yarns because anything goes in this process, but we LOVE that Joyce calls them Treasure Yarns because sometimes those little scraps are just too beautiful to toss out. Learn how to core spin your leftover bits in this free tutorial. Joyce Hazlerig is here to celebrate Living Felt’s 20th Birthday and teach how to spin chunky, funky Art Yarns!

Hand Spun Art Yarns can be used in wet felting knitting and crochet. You can spin with the wool and embellishment fibers you already know and love to felt with!

Joyce will share her techniques and tips for dipping your toe into spinning these beautiful art yarns!
