Workshop Description: Fractals are never ending patterns found in nature, mathematics, and art. They repeat themselves at different scales or sizes. Fractal yarns are usually created from dyed combed top. However, what if you have separate sources of fiber (i.e, samples from workshops, leftover fiber from other projects, etc.)? In this workshop, we will explore how to create a fractal yarn from a variety of fiber sources.
