Spinning wheel Beginner 60mins

This is recommended for the absolute beginner.

I will explain

• how a spinning wheel works
• The main differences between wheels.
• Ratios and why they matter.
• Preparing your fibre. 
• What to do if things go wrong.

You will get accustomed to a wheel, and be spinning yarn in no time. 

You can try a variety of fibres, carded and combed.

I currently have three wheels set up:

• Kromski Interlude, single drive scotch tension, single treadle.
• Kromski Minstrel, double drive double treadle with super jumbo flyer for creating big chunky 'art' yarn.
• Kromski Symphony, double drive double treadle, a large and fast wheel for fine spinning.

You are welcome to try all three. 

All materials and equipment will be provided, but if you would like to bring your own wheel please let me know. I do not work with raw wool.

If you would like to book a longer session, I would suggest spending an hour with me, then maybe an hour by yourself to see how you get on. Then if you wish to continue with another hour of tuition to tweak finer details or try something different, we can do that.

Tuition will take place during shop open hours, at the beautiful Elsecar Heritage centre. There is plenty to do on site including two cafes and a pub, if you plan to bring people with you they can entertain themselves while you learn.

Booking - please leave a message as you go through checkout with your preferred date & time, plus any other information you feel relevant. I will get back to you as soon as possible to discuss this with you.

Free parking.

 Open hours - Thursday - Monday 10-4pm inclusive 

If you would like tuition outside of these hours please get in touch.
