A great way to get started spinning without investing in a wheel. We start with the “park and draft” technique. We talk about drafting techniques that can easily apply to wheel spinning as well. Learn about different types of wool, and how to get the yarn off when you are done spinning. Prepare to be amazed at what you can create! The experienced instructors enjoy teaching this skill to others. Join them for a fun session of learning to make yarn.
