Suitable for both complete beginners as well as those not-so-new who need a little more guidance, this class will cover spinning on a spinning wheel. We’ll cover the types and parts of these tools and which may be right for you. Other topics include how to use a niddy-noddy, drafting, plying, hand carding and finishing. Most of the time will be spent working on the wheel and learning to use fiber tools. Our goal is to send you home with a plied skein of yarn. it is recommended that you practice treadling a spinning wheel - both forward and backwards - prior to the class.
