Curious about electric spinning wheels but not sure where to begin? Exploring E-Spinning offers a hands-on introduction to e-spinning in a relaxed, supportive setting.
Students will learn the basic mechanics of electric spinning, explore how e-spinners differ from traditional treadle wheels, and gain practical experience with several different machines. Each student will have an e-spinner to work with and will rotate among the available models, allowing plenty of time to experience differences in controls, tension systems, ergonomics, and overall spinning style.
We’ll cover basic setup and operation, fiber preparation, drafting, adjusting speed and take-up, and troubleshooting common beginner challenges. No previous spinning experience is required.
This workshop is ideal for anyone curious about e-spinning, interested in adding an electric spinner to their fiber practice, or simply wanting the opportunity to try several machines before investing in one of their own.
