Fiberside Chat: Jillian Moreno

Fiberside Chats: Jillian Moreno July 10th

Unhappy with your spinning or knitting? It’s not you; it’s your yarn! 

In this talk, Jillian Moreno will expose the inner workings of yarn construction and how it affects your knitting.

She will walk you through the steps of how yarn is built, from fiber to draft, to ply, and show you exactly why you might be unhappy with a yarn or knitting project.

Spinners will see how each intentional choice in spinning results in the exact yarn perfect for whatever knitting project you have in mind. Knitters will learn how a little insider knowledge of yarn construction makes substituting yarn easier and leads to happier knitting.

Jillian Moreno is the author of the best-selling spinning book Yarnitecture: A Knitter’s Guide to Spinning: Building Exactly the Yarn You Want. She is passionate about exploring the structure of yarns and using them in intentional and creative ways in knitting, stitching, and weaving.
Through exploration, curiosity, and play, she enthusiastically encourages her students and readers to feel confidence and joy spinning their ideal yarns and making with yarn.

Jillian regularly writes about spinning and how the yarn works for Knitty.com, Ply Magazine, and Modern Daily Knitting. She teaches online and all over the world. When she’s at home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, she can be found wantonly basking in her stash and reading mysteries.
