Do you have a new or new-to-you wheel? Have you done some spinning, but had a difficulty you couldn’t resolve? Spinning wheels are simple, ingenious inventions, but that doesn’t mean they are always intuitive! The best way to start spinning on a wheel is to get to know your equipment first. Once you are comfortable with your equipment, troubleshooting is a breeze and you are on your way to tear-free spinning!
In this class, we will get to know your equipment, including wheel
mechanics, adjustment, cleaning & maintenance. We will attach leaders to your bobbins, how to set up your wheel for each new spin, how to prepare your fibers for spinning, how to coordinate your feet and your hands, and SPIN! We will discuss how to choose a good seat to spin from and ergonomics to keep you spinning for years to come. We will also cover what fibers are the most beginner-friendly!
Wheels must be assembled and in working order: things that should move do; things that shouldn’t move don’t; drive bands/brake bands/footmen in tact).
If you are unsure if your wheel is in working order, please schedule a Spin Doctor Wheel Evaluation before this class.
Supplies & materials list you will need to bring to class will be provided when you register.
Masks are required for this class!
