Come try your hand at spinning wool on a spinning wheel, or learn to use a wheel you already have. You will likely have the opportunity to try a number of wheels in the Saxony or Castle style. Most of our time will be spent learning and practicing on the wheel and using other wool tools and learning to problem solve some of the nuances of a wheel. Other topics include how to use a niddy-noddy, drafting, plying, hand carding and finishing.
