Here are the particulars:
Have you always admired beautiful, functional and popular braided wool rugs? Would you like to design and create one for yourself or as a gift, perhaps something that will become a treasured heirloom? This class is for you! Students will prepare wool roving (processed sheep wool) into a braid in the morning, then the afternoon will be spent making your wool "braids" into a nice chair pad. You will need to bring about one pound of roving in 2-3 shades or colors, or if you do not have roving it will be available at the class. COST: $40 plus $10 equipment fee (additional roving is extra). Letty's book, "The Shepherd's Rug, will also be available to purchase (and to have Letty sign!), though you do not need to have the book to take the class.
This class is not just for those who raise sheep or have wool on hand to make the rug...all you need is the desire and ambition to create one of these lovely, functional works of art for the home. And not just rugs....hot pads, chair pads - use your imagination! Letty is a fun, encouraging and wonderful instructor - you will have a great time in this all day class! There is still room in the workshop, but the deadline to sign up is here! Please call Suzanne at Sip 'n Knit at 989-449-4444 ASAP.
