Learn to Spin
Type: Technique
Length: 3 hours
Instructor: Staff
Class Fee: $35
Description:
In its simplest form, spinning is a way to make your own yarn. More than that, though, it is an opportunity to design and create your own “ewe-nique” yarn from an incredible variety of fibers and colors, textures and techniques.
Bring your own wheel, or reserve one of our wheels for use during the class. Spinning on a drop spindle will be discussed briefly, and private classes are available for spindlespinning. However, the focus of this class is wheel spinning.
Spinning is a relaxing, inspiring and fulfilling art form. Join us, learn to spin, and find out for yourself!
Participants need to purchase or bring the following supplies when they come to class:
4 ounces of wool fiber (come a few minutes early to buy the recommended fiber, instructor will help)
Optional items participants can bring to class if they have them:
Spinning wheel in good working condition
If you don’t own a wheel, our spinning wheels are available for you to use during the classes.
Please register for all classes at least 24 hours in advance.
Unless specified, materials are not included in the cost of class.
