Spinning 101

Spinning class is back and better than ever! Get your spin-on with this three part introduction to spinning on a modern wheel! You will learn all about wheel anatomy, tools of the trade, fibre types and prep, operating a spinning wheel, plying and balancing yarn, and basic project planning.

No previous experience required, all supplies are included, AND all peeps will get to take the spinning wheel home between sessions to practice at home! Wheeee!

Some important notes:

• Please wear your prettiest socks as you will be taking your shoes off! 
• A valid credit card or refundable deposit is required to take the wheel home between sessions.

This class has some physical elements: This class requires some dexterity, as you will be learning how to treadle a spinning wheel using one foot while using your hands to draft fibre. There is some lifting required to take the wheel home with you. We will be using the Louet S17 single treadle wheel. This approximately weighs 11 lbs. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to classes(at)stashlounge.com and we'll be happy to help!
