About this Event
Join Becks for an hour of tips and tricks to take your plying skills to the next level. Discover a variety of tiny tweaks that can have a huge impact on your handspun. If you’re a beginner, you’ll gain invaluable knowledge to start you off on the right track while more experienced spinners will pick up techniques to make the next project your best yet.
Accompanied by samples throughout, you’ll discover the small things that will make a HUGE difference to your plying, including:
• Tools (commercial and home-made)
• Key techniques for consistency
• Sampling and ‘reading’ your yarn
• Why plying ‘mistakes’ can lead to amazing art yarns
At the end of the session, you’ll be armed with all the skills you need to tackle your next plying session with confidence.

Tutor Bio:
After a rather disastrous encounter with a drop spindle, Becks started spinning on a wheel in 2011 while living in a tiny apartment in Manchester. She well and truly fell down the rabbit hole of spinning. After building up a sizeable stash of handspun skeins, she focused her learning on being purposeful about the yarn she produced.
An educator by trade with a background in film and television, Becks combined her professional experience and love of fibre arts in 2017 with the launch of her YouTube channel, Tiny Fibre Studio. There she shares the projects she’s working on and provides instructional content for other spinners. She also teaches in-person and online spinning classes.
