Skill level:  Beginner

Workshop Description: Have you ever wanted to learn how to spin your own yarn? It’s fun, it’s relaxing, and I can show you how! In this beginning class, you’ll learn about wheels, spinning methods, best fiber for beginning spinners, and basic wheel maintenance. In this three-hour class, you’ll learn wheel basics, how to spin a single, and learn the basics of plying. By the time you leave, you will have a basic understanding of your wheel and the skills to start spinning on your own. There is no experience needed and I’ll provide the fiber, tools, and a resource guide to get you on your way – you just bring yourself and your wheel. Students should have a basic understanding of how their wheel works and all wheels must be in good working order and ready to use.

Students should bring: Students will need to bring their own spinning wheel with at least three empty bobbins and a lazy kate. Students should have a basic understanding of how their wheel works and all wheels must be in good working order and ready to use. While we will be going over wheel mechanics, this is not a wheel maintenance or repair class.

Material Fee  $15  Includes 2-3oz of prepared spinning fiber (we’ll all be spinning the same fiber to keep everything consistent), a WPI measuring tool, and a resource guide filled with handouts, information, tips, and tricks. .
