Beginning Spinning

Description

Hand spinning is one of the traditional crafts of the Appalachian Mountain Region. It was one of the first steps to creating cloth whether that fabric is knit, crocheted or woven.

Students will learn the parts of the spinning wheel along with drafting and spinning the fiber on the bobbin of the wheel. They will spin two bobbins, learn to ply the yarn and measure the spun yarn onto a niddy noddy.

Supplies

Supplies will be provided by the instructor. A $25 supply fee will be payable on the first day of class to the instructor.

Included will be 8 oz. of fiber for spinning and the use of the small tools used for winding skeins.
