Tamar will be offering a free spinning class at Four Arches Farm on December 8 from 9:30-3:30. A limited number of wheels are available to be checked out from the guild.
You will need the following besides a wheel. . .
1. 4 oz of wool or a wool blend roving or combed top. Unwind and The Frayed Knot sell some in a variety or colors. You can also purchase fiber online at Etsy, EBay, etc.
2. Please bring lunch/potluck dish and drinks.
3. Additional bobbins for your wheel. Have at least 2, 3 is best.
4. Optional: yarn ball winder, lazy kate or empty shoe box with long knitting needles or wooden cooking skewers, niddy noddy.
5. Avoid wool blends that are super wash, have a high silk content, high bamboo content, high nylon content, high alpaca content. These fibers are a little more slippery to spin and require practice. Fibers like Merino, BFL, Corriedale, blends high in wool 75% or higher, etc are recommended.
