This workshop is a 4 lesson programme, designed for absolute beginner spinners, and suitable for those who would like a "refresher". The first lesson provides background to spinning and “getting to know your wheel” preparatory session. On completion, participants will be able to spin wool and ply it to make yarn suitable for weaving and/or knitting.

She is an expert in traditional wheels and has been testing and taming several electric wheels for the production of her super fine lace weight yarns.
