Introduction to the spinning wheel with Nancy Mahala.
This class includes an introduction to the spinning wheel, it's parts and function. You will learn about wool fiber--how and why spinning works to turn a fuzzy pile of fiber into strands you can use to create something beautiful.
Students will learn how to spin yarn on in the same traditional way as our ancestors, using a wheel and a drop spindle. We will do some wool processing using hand cards and a drum carder.
Students will take home a small skein of their own handspun yarn and much knowledge about the process of turning fiber into yarn. All materials and equipment are included.
If you own a spinning wheel, bring it to class.
