Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival
There are still available seats in some classes! Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival is delighted to welcome Peggy Doney from Colorado Springs, Colorado to the roster of new instructors this spring! Life for Peggy was never the same after taking a spinning class with her neighbor years ago. Before she knew it, Peggy was spinning, knitting, dyeing, and creating silk fusion. Eventually, Peggy became a dyer for Treenway Silk, began exploring her own colorways, and developed her own color recipes through experimentation with gradient, triad, and monochromatic studies. She has a special interest in making accurate, reproducible dye recipes that reflect colors found in nature. Peggy loves to share her enthusiasm and knowledge of dying and has been teaching for several years at gatherings, guilds, and festivals including Taos Wool Festival. Two of her classes have already sold out, but there are still limited seats available in Tints, Tones, and Shades, Oh My! In this class, students will learn about the role of adding white, black, and gray to colors, as well as using different additives to achieve consistent depths of shade. But don’t let color theory intimidate you! Peggy will make sure you leave with lots of beautiful samples, and she is bringing lots of dye jokes and her big box of crayons as reference material! You can learn more about Peggy by following her The 100th Sheep and you can register for her class at www.lessonface.com/sheepandwool ... See MoreSee Less

Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival
Teacher Spotlight! There are still limited seats available in some classes! Meet Jill Duarte, one of our amazing instructors at Maryland Sheep and Wool this year. Many of you know her as the co-owner of Hipstrings and a frequent contributor to PLY Magazine, but you might not know Jill also holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Evolutionary Biology! Jill’s background in science and love of fiber arts has informed her business and is reflected in the fiber, yarn, and tools she creates and produces. Jill describes herself as “inordinately fond of short-stapled fibers and fast spinning tools.” Like many of us, she cannot just stop with one fiber pursuit, and she finds herself knitting, spinning, dying, crocheting, weaving, and sometimes felting. As an author and teacher, Jill is dedicated to the resurgence of modern fiber craft that is based on a foundation of technical and historical knowledge. This year Jill is sharing her expertise with several knitting and spinning classes including Fiber Speed Dating, Spinning Short Stapled Fibers , Getting Started on a Supported Spindle, Spinning for Consistency, and Knitting with Handspun Yarn. Although a few of her classes are sold out, a limited number of seats for the remaining classes are still available here: www.lessonface.com/sheepandwool#mdsw #mdsw24 ... See MoreSee Less
