Materials:

• 250g – 300g 18 - 20 micron Merino wool tops (a few of your favorite colors)
• Dyed plant fibers: Ramie (fiber made from nettles), hemp, flax (your favorite colors, 1-2 meters of sliver of each find of fiber)
• Two or Three meters of Margilan silk gauze fabric (authentic, organic, hand woven, hand dyed; will be available for sale form the instructor, $11 per meter). This is perfect for the innovative techniques of this workshop and allows the creation of complex surfaces in a limited workshop time. It’s not the same with tissue silk or other silk fabric.

 • Pool noodle about 2' long

 • Elastic ties for rolling (stockings or pantyhose)

 • Netting (soft fiberglass mosquito screen material is ideal, synthetic fabric shower curtain is okay); about 1 m X 1 m (2' X  2' or a little bigger)
