Here you will discover spinning wheel basics and begin to train your hands, feet, and head in the age old craft of turning wool into yarn. During this class you will learn to treadle with control and to carefully draft fibers to produce a consistent yarn. The next thing you know, there you are, spinning your own yarn! We will also discuss types of wool, breeds of sheep, and basic fiber preparation. Bring your wheel or use ours. Fiber will be provided. (Lunch is not included with this class) Product: yarn.
