Cherry Blending Boards are back in stock!

This stack is wrapped, protected, and almost ready to head out the door. Next up: a keel brush, dowels, and a box for the journey to their new homes.

We always wonder where they'll end up and what fibers they'll see first.

If a Cherry Blending Board arrived at your door today, what fiber would you blend first—and where would you be using it? A dedicated studio, the kitchen table, your favorite comfy chair, or somewhere else?

Tell us in the comments!

Join us for hands-on workshops this summer and fall! We're teaching classes from coast to coast this year, and we bring the drum carders and blending boards so you don't have to.

Utah's Great Basin Fiber Arts Fair and Estes Park Wool Market were a wonderful start to the season, and next up is Black Sheep Gathering in Albany, Oregon, June 26–28. Every family has one—a black sheep, that is! Find your flock at this midsummer gathering of fiber-minded folks, featuring a large vendor hall, sheep shows, and a long-running wool show with hundreds of fleeces on display each year.

Black Sheep Gathering workshop registration is now closed, but walk-up registration will be available at the festival.

Looking for a class later this year? Visit the link in our bio to see our full workshop schedule and upcoming events. We hope to see you in class!

It’s a good day to be in class! The wind is blowing outside in Estes Park, but inside we’re cozy, learning, and having fun. Today’s first Wool Market workshop is Exploring the Drum Carder, and we’re excited to dive into the art and process of preparing wool. Looking forward to a great day of fiber, learning, and creativity!

If soft, springy fleeces are your favorite, this workshop is for you.

Fine wool breeds are loved for their softness, bounce, and beautiful finished yarns—but those same qualities can make them challenging to card. In our Breed Sampler: Fine Wools workshop, you'll get hands-on experience working with a variety of fine wool breeds while learning how to avoid common carding frustrations, which breeds tend to be the most challenging, and when a substitute breed can help you achieve similar results.

Each student works on their own electric Elite Crankless drum carder, and all materials, carders, and tools are provided.

Join us this year at:
Black Sheep Gathering (Oregon) – June - DFW Fiber Fest (Texas) – August - Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival (Wisconsin) – September

Bouncy fleece. Squishy fleece. Soft fleece. Come discover how to get the most out of these beautiful fibers.

Ever wonder what actually happens inside a drum carder?

Join us for Exploring the Drum Carder, a hands-on workshop that takes the mystery out of one of the most useful tools in fiber preparation. We'll start the day by exploring the history of drum carders, how they work, and why they're designed the way they are.

Then it's time to get hands-on! Throughout the day, you'll learn the differences between woolen and worsted carding, explore tools and techniques that make fiber preparation more efficient, and create four unique batts. You'll even experience the difference between hand cranking and electric drive, creating your first batt by hand before switching to Electric Drive for the remainder of the class.

Whether you're new to drum carding or looking to deepen your understanding of the process, you'll leave with a better understanding of how your carder works and new ideas for preparing fiber.
All materials, carders, and tools are provided by us—just bring your curiosity and get ready to card!

We're hitting the road this summer and fall with hands-on workshops from coast to coast. Our next workshops begin in June in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and continue through the end of October in North Carolina. We provide all the equipment, so you can focus on learning, experimenting, and creating.

Register now for hands-on, in-person training designed to build confidence, expand your skills, and inspire creativity.
