An introduction to the historic craft of spinning. For those who would like a taster to see if it is the craft for them.
During the workshop, we will cover the following:
Selection and preparation of fleece
Carding your fleece
Hand spinning a single (using either an espinner or manual wheel)
Plying Singles
Finishing into a useable yarn
All equipment will be provided, although if you have your own wheel that you would prefer to use, then please feel free to bring it with you. You will also be given sufficient fleece to spin into a small hank of your own.
Tea/coffee and biscuits will be supplied, but please bring a packed lunch if required. £60pp
