Do you want to learn to spin finer yarns? Struggle to get that lace yarn of your dreams? If so, then this quick dip dive into fine spinning might well be for you!
We will investigate what goes into making your spinning finer, incorporating fiber choices, the all important wheel adjustment and some hacks which can make your equipment work for you. We will primarily focus on wool, but will also spin one or two other fibres in order to give you the grounding to go away and experiment with what works for you. As part of this class, we will also look briefly into plying and finishing of your yarn to help you get the fine yarns you’ve always wanted!
