Beginning Spinning

This class is for the beginner, perfect for those who have never spun yarn and those who need a refresher. The class works together as a group, starting with the basics, such as the parts of a spinning wheel and its function, treadling, drafting, setting twists, and plying without a lazy Kate. After the morning discussion and demonstration, we will work at our wheels, wind center pull balls, and ply our handspun. This class does not cove technique, consistency or color .

 $15 MATERIALS FEE : Each student will receive a notebook with information we will cover in class and additional resources to take home, enough fiber to spin and practice throughout the day, and a small fiber gift to take home. I also provide a couple spindles for students to use, and one spinning wheel for student use.
