{"product_id":"fiber-to-fabric-fall-2006-virtual","title":"Fiber to Fabric - Fall 2006 - Virtual","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFrom dependable sheep’s wool to tricky rayon, every yarn is individual. Each type of fiber, from a specific breed of sheep or other fiber-bearing animal, from plants like bamboo, hemp and flax, manmade or remanufactured, brings its own distinct benefits and challenges to a knitting project. Learn to evaluate the potentials of your particular yarn and approaches that ensure success in your hand knit garments. We will cover the roles of garment architecture, fit and borders, ways to prevent sagging and biasing in inelastic fibers, and pattern stitches and seaming to stabilize garments. Class will be a combination of lecture, hands-on work, and discussion. Students will take away an understanding of fiber characteristics, yarn behavior in knitted fabrics, and an arsenal of techniques for best results. Note that homework will be assigned to be completed before each of the four class sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;\"\u003eYou will receive the Zoom link 1-2 business days before the virtual\nclass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat: \u003c\/b\u003eVirtual\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\nPrerequisite: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eKnitting II, Yarn 101, First Cardigan, Top Down Raglan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eMaterials Required:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e• One ball of each of the following yarns.
