Our courses are designed for spinners of all levels, from the absolute beginner to a spinner who wants precise control over all the nuances of handspun yarn. We've organized the courses in a curated path so you can get from where you are to where you want to be.
If you're just starting out with spinning, start here! In these two workshops, you'll find the basics of fibre, drafting, adding twist to make a stable yarn, and then learning to make a plied yarn. Here, we spin with a spinning wheel or a suspended spindle. You can choose whichever tool you prefer!
