Description: Join us for a 9-month long exploration of different sheep breeds. We will spin samples from 9 different breeds of sheep, highlighting a different breed each month. Students will use their handspun samples to either knit or weave afghan squares to create a final project representing each breed presented in this series. We will be working with natural colored combed top for each breed sample. Classes meet monthly for 3- hour sessions. Class time will be spent primarily spinning samples, creating a control card for each yarn, and planning for afghan square. If the student requires knitting or crochet help with their squares, Knitting and Crochet Help sessions are available at Heritage, and are listed on the shop calendar. A pin loom help class can also be arranged.
Required supplies/equipment/books: Other supplies needed are a 3-ring binder for samples, index cards, and measurement tools, including a scale, ruler, WPI tool, and ply angle tool. (Instructor will bring tools to class to share, but it is helpful to have these for home use.) Optional: Knitting needles and crochet hooks in various sizes and/or a pin loom.
Class fee does not include 4oz. fiber samples, binder pages or handouts. A $30.00 materials fee is due to the instructor at the beginning of each session.

Charting a Fair Isle Sweater Using Excel, via Zoom, class 1 of 4
2026-10-21 18:00 - 20:00 | MI
Day/Date/Time: Wednesdays, 10/21, 10/28, 11/4, and 11/11/2026. First session meets from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm ET via Zoom. Remaining sessions from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm ET via Zoom. This class meets 4 times.
Description: Fair Isle sweaters have such complex designs and details to get right, that it helps to have a chart of the full sweater. This four-session class will teach you to use Excel to create that chart. Participants will learn to set up the grid, efficiently copy and paste repeating patterns, color the design, check for pleasing connections at the shoulders and sleeves, and print to specific scale. Participants will need a tablet or phone for Zoom and a computer for working on Excel. Although the principles of this class can be applied to other spread sheets such as Numbers or Google Sheets, in the interest of time, instruction will be limited to Excel. Each session will have homework.
Required Supplies/Equipment/Books: A computer with Excel installed for working on the chart and a phone or tablet to participate in the Zoom class. An Excel file and the ZOOM link will be sent to participants in the week before class.
Prerequisite: The ability to save and find files on a computer. Some experience with Excel or other Microsoft Office products, as well as with Zoom, is helpful.
