Learn To Spin On A Wheel!

WE HAVE WHEELS FOR YOU TO BORROW DURING THE CLASS!

Learn how to work with your spinning wheel to create beautiful useable yarns. This series of classes will be geared to the absolute beginner and “still pretty new at it” spinner. It will cover adjusting the wheel to optimize success, learning to treadle, spinning a continuous single thread, and plying.

For the first three lessons we will concentrate on spinning wool. After that, who knows…! Take sometime for yourself after the holidays and learn how to spin yarn on a spinning wheel.

Our class is designed for the absolute beginner! Spinning is so relaxing and therapeutic and like knitting totally addictive. We have three wheels for you to borrow during the class if you don't currently have one!
