Materials and Equipment

• Colors from your stash; I used mostly CVM/Corriedale cross

• Hand cards suited to your fiber (I used Schacht Mini Cards in 72 psi)

• Drop spindle or spinning wheel (I used my Schacht Hi-Lo Spindle)

• Embroidery hoop for stitching and display. I recommend a small hoop in the 4" to 6" range.

• Base fabric for embroidery: light-colored, tightly woven cloth large enough to fit in the embroidery hoop
• Inspiration photo (painting, ad from a magazine, personal photo, etc.)
• Pencil or fine-tipped water-soluble marker
• Sharp needle with eye large enough for your handspun
• Needle threader
• Scissors
