Beginning Spinning on a Wheel



Learn the essential skills to spin wool into yarn using a classic spinning wheel. We will learn to prepare the fiber, draft it out by hand, and use the treadles to spin yarn. By the end of class, you will gain the skills to adjust and control the direction of the spinning wheel, draft and ply your yarn.

Bring your own wheel and handcards if you have them – or feel free to borrow ours for use in class.
