Alison will teach you all the basics of spinning, including selecting, sorting and preparing fleece. You will have the chance to try a variety of drop spindles which will help you find your ideal. You will leave with the confidence to be able to spin a singles yarn; ply those singles and finish your hanks and have the understanding to be able to spin commercially prepared tops and a small selection of fancy yarns. All materials and equipment are provided. |
