Beginning Wheel Spinning
with Sue Duncan

Have you ever wondered how yarn is made? Twist the fibers and you will make yarn.  Learn the basics of a spinning wheel.  Different types of wheels will be provided for you in class, but if you have your own, please bring it.  Learn how to draft the fibers and allow the twisted fibers to slide through your fingers onto the spool.  You will make yarn right before your eyes.  It is magic!

Friday afternoon - $55.00

Spinning 201: Spin Better
with Mary Berry

Students will learn to spin the yarn they want, not the yarn their wheel wants to give them. Participants will learn when and how to adjust their wheels, and how those adjustments affect the final yarn; four drafting methods and when to use each; how choosing your fiber and fiber preparation affects the yarn, and valuable principles of spinning. Individual questions are encouraged! Spinning Fiber and a handout will be provided by the instructor.

Saturday Morning - $40.00 Class + $10 Materials
