Saturday PM Workshops Beginning Spinning Susan Jewell, [email protected] You will be introduced to spinning fibers and their preparation, wheel maintenance, and spinning on the wheel. If your wheel is giving you problems, please let Susan know Friday night so there will be plenty of time to fix it before class starts. Remember, it takes time and practice to learn to spin. (Susan says that she did nothing but practice treadling for a week so that she could control the wheel before she tried to spin any wool.) After this workshop, you may not be an expert spinner, but you’ll know where to start - and you’ll have the rest of the weekend to practice and get advice from those who were once in your shoes. Susan will provide fibers for the class. Skill Level: No experience necessary Equipment Needed: Spinning wheel, clean bobbin, wool carders

Yarn Judging Workshop
Standardizing the Judging of Handspun Yarns Parts 1-4 Ric Rao, [email protected] Jill Holbrook, [email protected] Joan Ruane, [email protected] This class was developed by the Northwest Regional Spinners Association to standardize judging at fairs, retreats and festivals. Members of the Southwest Regional Spinners have become judges and are now offering to teach this course. The course will cover the history of judging, judging philosophy for encouragement and positive comments, using scorecards for judging yarn and other items and how to become certified. The majority of the class is judging yarns – those submitted by the retreat as well as samples collected over the last 5 years. Anyone may take the course whether to learn how to improve their own handspun yarns or going on to become an SRS certified judge to judge at our retreats as well as fairs and festivals. See below for requirements on becoming an SRS certified judge. Skill Level: All handspinners welcome Equipment Needed: None, all materials are provided Note: This class will have 4 sessions, Friday p.m. - Sunday a.m. For certification process students must attend each session
Certification Requirements for Judges of Handspun Yarns
1. All candidates will attend the Judging Handspun Yarn Workshop. This workshop will in- clude the principles of judging, learning to use the judging scorecard and judging skeins of yarn, articles and fleeces.
2. Candidates will participate two times (two years) at the Southwest Regional Spinners (SRS) retreat. An alternative site may be approved by the Judging and Standards Commit- tee if a candidate cannot attend the SRS retreat. The candidate will judge handspun yarns for a minimum of two hours each year. New candidates will be paired with an experienced judge.
3. Candidates will clerk for a judge or judge at another event twice with feedback (preferably written) from a certified judge or superintendent for a minimum of two hours or 25 skeins/articles each time.
4. When the above requirements are completed, candidates will submit for certification from the Judging and Standards Committee or two Certified Judges. A Certified Judge will then sign the applicant’s passport after reviewing that all requirements have been met.
When a candidate has been certified their name will be published on the SRS Judging Hand- spun e-list. The Judging and Standards Committee will maintain a list of all certified judges. The Certified Judge will receive a certificate and a name pin to be used when judging.
