In this beginners spinning workshop, you will learn to make your own yarn using the ancient craft of spinning. You will learn how to use both a drop spindle and a spinning wheel. Spinning sheep fleece and other fibres to create colourful and textured yarns which are unique, is very fulfilling. It can then be used in a knitting, crochet or craft project. Spinning is a very rhythmic and meditative process which can be a calming experience.
This workshop is also suitable for those with more experience who want to improve their technique or go back to basics after a break from spinning. Dee your experienced tutor will be available all day to support you and guide you step-by-step through each process. You will go home with yarn that you have spun yourself and the confidence to create more.
If one day isn’t enough spinning for you Dee also runs a two day course at our studio.
