Specialty Class: Nuno Felted Neck Warmer
Join us for a fun introduction to the popular art of Nuno Felting!
In this one-session class, we’ll create a gorgeous small scarf using merino wool roving and silk fabric. Our instructor, Susan Zenier, will guide us through the steps while helping with color and design choices. The finished neck warmer is sure to be a showstopper – don’t be surprised if your friends and acquaintances ask you to make Nuno scarves for them! And with the knowledge you gain in this class, you can!
The class fee covers the class, plus materials: the silk base and the merino wool roving needed to create one neck warmer. All tools required for the project will be provided in class. As a student, you’ll receive a 10 percent discount on any additional supplies you purchase on the day of the class.
Our class instructor, Susan Zenier, is a passionate artist who works in many media. She has a strong aesthetic for mixing colors successfully to create high-impact results. Susan brings her eye for color and form to this specialty felting class.

Instructor Ann Chaves will guide you through all the steps of taking your ideal sweater from dream to reality in this five-session class. Ann will show you how to design your own sweater based on your gauge, so that you won’t have to depend on a pattern to know what to do. You will be able to make the sweater you want with the yarn you want. She will guide you through the ins and outs of gauge, so you can confidently calculate all the numbers involved in creating a sweater. The class consists of five sessions stretched over seven weeks – so that you have some weeks off to work on knitting your creation. You can choose to design either a cardigan or a pullover for your project. And Ann has created a special Workbook just for this Class, so you can use it to make this sweater – and use it for future sweaters, too! 
Instructor Ann Chaves has been knitting all her life. She earned a degree in Art Education with an emphasis on Fiber Arts. A love of embroidery in the Arts and Crafts style led her to teaching and designing, and she now teaches embroidery workshops all over the country. Ann also teaches Group Knitting Classes here at Northwest Wools. We are delighted to have her as part of our Teaching Staff! This class will not only introduce you to sweater design, it will also give you a higher sense of control over your knitting even when following someone else’s pattern. This is a great opportunity to learn something new in the New Year!
