What are Illoominations?
"Il-loom-inations" are member-led activities which may or may not have a fee. If there is a fee, it will be a materials fee to defray costs to the leader for materials purchased. The member leading the activity is a facilitator and not an instructor and receives no payment. If you wish to participate in an Illoominations session it will require a pre-registration so that the facilitator can plan for materials needed. And since Illoominations will involve some discussion and sharing, you will be expected to be respectful of the start times and arrive on time for the session.
"If you have something you would like to share as a scheduled Illoomination please contact Debbie Suchoff at debbiesuchoff@yahoo.com"

Virtual Illoomination: Winding & Tying Skeins and Warps for Dyeing
Avoid tangling and uneven dyeing by winding skeins of an appropriate size and by tying them so that they stay secure without creating a resist. Apply the same techniques to warps created for hand painting. Learn to use a niddy-noddy for full and half length skeins and how to use your arm or leg if you don't have one. Additional discussion will include warping boards vs warping reels, niddy-noddies vs skein winders and swifts, appropriate material for skein ties, and the difference between tying for painting and immersion dyeing.
