Learn to Spin Using a Spinning Wheel

jan spinning In this class we will introduce you to the fibers and tools available to the hand spinner. However we will spend the majority our time teaching you the use of a spinning wheel. There is nothing better for a fiber junkie than creating your own yarn with any fiber that you choose. And believe me, there are some incredible fibers to choose from.

Feel free to pack a lunch for our break or take in one of our local restraunts.

Cost: $55.00 some spinning wheels available or bring your own in good working condition.

Date: Call to register for a class at my home studio. When we have enough for a class we will contact you with a date

Time: 9:00AM-3:00PM (6 hrs)

Instructor: Angela Feltes

Dyeing and Spinning Silk Hankies

Have fun playing with color as we dye silk hankies (thin layers of silk cocoons stretched into square “hankie” shape). While we steam the dyes we will spin some already dyed silk into yarn, and if you are not a spinner we can show you how to knit the hankies without spinning. 2 ounces of silk hankies and dyes included in materials fees. Bring an apron or old clothes, rubber gloves and plastic bags to bring home wet fiber in. Also bring a spinning wheel to try spinning some silk if you are interested.
You should have intermediate spinning skills if you plan on spinning silk. Bring knitting needles if you choose to knit silk rovings without spinning.
