Instructor: Margery and Chris Erickson
Skill Level: Beginner/Novice
This is an introduction to spinning fiber into yarn using prepared wool. The focus is to learn the skills needed to spin fiber on a spinning wheel. Additional information will include the use of a drop spindle and some historical background on spinning. Additional practice beyond class is needed to improve the quality of your yarn.
Equipment or Tools Needed: We have a few Spinning wheels for participants. Drop spindles will also be provided for practice. If you have a spinning wheel, please bring it. We can evaluate the wheel and advise if it can be used for the class.
Materials Needed: Spinning wheel and drop spindle, if you have one or access to one.
A materials fee of $20 is due to the instructor at the start of the class.
Please note *** This class will take place at Margery’s studio located at 202 Bankert Road, Hanover, PA, 17331.
