Spindle Spinning Basics
Ever thought about making your own yarn, or just wondered about how spinning works? This class is for you. Using a simple spindle, Denny will teach you how to create a single, how to make a basic plied yarn, and what you do to finish it off. Absolutely no experience necessary, but the ability to laugh at your mistakes would be great.
| Class Level: | Beginner |
| Class Skills: | None, beyond an open mind. This class is appropriate for the totally unskilled, as well as the newish spinner who would like a refresher. |
| Cost: | $75 |
| Class Length: | 3 Hours |
| Class Materials: | |
Please bring a spindle if you have one, and at least 50g of combed top, and 50g of carded roving. These should be in different colours, if you can manage.) If you don’t have a spindle and fibre and aren’t sure what to get, you can bring $15 and purchase a kit in class that will have everything you need. | |
| Homework: | |
None. | |
