Spinning on a wheel has endured as a craft that is at once relaxing, empowering, challenging, and creative. By learning to spin, you reach back in history to connect with an ancient craft, inextricably tied to the creation of fabrics and textiles, while forging ahead to a future created by you. In this class, students will have the opportunity to try a variety of wheel designs, to find what works best for each student. Fiber preparation will be discussed; how to wash wool, use combs, hand and drum carder.  As time allows we will discuss ways to finish our yarns, how to ply, and what can be made with hand spun yarn. These skills are excellent on their own, but are easier learned when paired with the previous class, Spinning on a Drop Spindle.
