This series of workshops is designed to teach you the basics of spinning fleece into wool. There is homework and each session builds on the last.
Session 1: washing fleece, properties of fleece and how to choose fleece and fibre, carding your fleece ready to spin, spinning with a drop spindle using the Park it method.
Session 2: drop spinning and plying using a spindle.
Session 3: spinning on a wheel.
Session 4: refining your spinning technique, plying, and how to process your wool once it's spun.
You may borrow our equipment if you haven’t got your own. Drop spindles and fibre are available to buy from us if you prefer.
There is a £3 charge per person on top of the class fee to cover fibre. We will take this on the day.
You can bring up to 2 people for this workshop. Let us know how many before the day.
