For those of you who already know how to do the basics on a spinning wheel - this is a session to improve on those skills!

Perhaps you first learnt on YouTube and have your own wheel, but have got stuck on making the same style of ‘barber-pole’ yarns!

Our one hour sessions will be taught online.  Longer sessions will be more in depth and held in person at Pink Alpaca Studios where you can bring along your own wheel or I'll be demonstrating the techniques on one of our amazing, double treadle Ashford spinning wheels or on an E-spinner wheel, while you also try spinning alongside.

• A variety of wool & fibre will be provided for the in person sessions, but you can use any processed fleece/fibre that you would like to bring along.
• Varied class durations available.
• Additional fibre can be purchased from our range of natural and hand-dyed colour-ways: - click here to purchase

Here are just some of the techniques we can explore:

• Spinning from art batts, roving, rolags,
• Splitting/blending fibre for fractual or gradient spinning
• 2-ply and chain plying
• Creating and using Art Batts
• Lock Spinning
• Chunky Thick and Thin
• Corespun Yarns
• Beehives and Coils
• Navajo Ply
• Working with inclusions such as beads and pearls
• Finishing Yarns

If you're interested, book the length of the session you require and I'll get back to you to agree when would suit you best - daytime, evenings or weekends are all possible.
