Handspun Yarn Judging

The Southwest Regional Spinners sponsor a Handspun Yarn Judge Certification Program and continually seek opportunities for practice and improvement. During Fibers Through Time 2012, certified yarn judges and judges-in-training will be available to critique your handspun. Ribbons will be awarded.

For this event, there is a limit of 3 skeins per participant. The judging is open to Conference attendees, committee members, instructors and Guild members.

To enter, download and complete the information on the tag, and attach a tag to each skein. Tags are also available at the Judging Table near the front entrance of the hotel.

Notes:
On the tag, How will you or how could you use this yarn? must be included [10 points will be deducted if information is missing].
Skeins must be:
  • handspun by the exhibitor
  • tied with at least 3 figure-eight ties of a similar fiber to show skein to best advantage
  • twisted for ease of handling
  • minimum of 30 yards [5 points shall be deducted for skeins less than 30 yards in length]
Recommendation: Use a 2-yard skein winder (kniddy knoddy) for consistent skein size.
