Are you a yarn user who wants to create their own yarn? Are you a wheel spinner who wants something more portable for spinning? Or maybe you know how to spin on a spindle but you need a refresher. Or maybe you just want to learn to spin for the sake of spinning!
This three hour class is for all of you! We will learn the basics of spinning and plying on a suspended spindle. We will talk about:
- twist and how twist makes fibres into yarn,
- the mechanics of how your spindle works,
- different methods of plying if you only have one spindle
- how to spin from common fibre preparations, like batts and top
And then you can take your new spindle and all your leftover fibre home with you to practice!

- Pen and paper to take notes
