In this one-day intensive for beginners you will obtain a solid foundation in the basics of spinning wool. Learn about the different types of spinning fibers, and get hands on experience in the basics of hand spinning, from fiber preparation, basic draw techniques, plying, through to skeining and finishing. This is also a good option if you learned to spin in the past and need a refresher.

Bring your own wheel, or borrow one from a friend. Our shop has two loaner wheels (Ashford Traditional and Joy 2). Contact us if you would like to use a wheel during the intensive. First come, first served.

Materials fee for 4 oz of beginner-friendly spinning fiber is provided and included in the class fee.
