Spinners 4 Beginners - Starts 22 August

$220.00

Spin Your Own Yarn... and discover why so many people fall in love with this timeless craft.

There's something truly special about turning a handful of soft fibre into beautiful yarn with your own hands. It's calming, creative, deeply satisfying... and for many, the beginning of a lifelong passion.

Whether you've always wanted to learn to spin or you're simply curious to give it a go, Spinners 4 Beginners is a welcoming place to start. With plenty of guidance, encouragement and time to practice between sessions, you'll build confidence at your own pace while sharing the experience with a lovely group of fellow makers.

During this workshop you'll learn:

  • Setting up and caring for your spinning wheel

  • Drafting and spinning your own yarn

  • Plying a finished skein

  • Understanding different fibres

  • Troubleshooting common spinning challenges

Why you'll love it

  • Perfect for complete beginners

  • Small group for personalised guidance

  • Relaxed, supportive and inspiring atmosphere

  • Take home new skills, new confidence and your own handspun yarn

What to Bring

Please bring your own spinning wheel. A limited number of loan wheels are available, so if you need one, simply let us know when booking.

***Important***
To help you get the most from the workshop, please make sure your spinning wheel is in good working order before the first session. If you're not sure, pop it into the Emporium at least a week beforehand and we'll happily give it a quick check. That way, when the workshop begins, we can focus on learning the joy of spinning together rather than spending valuable class time on wheel adjustments.

Note:

  • Please arrive at least 15 minutes before class begins so you can settle in.

  • Dress comfortably – we’ll be getting hands-on!

  • Parking is available behind our Emporium.
