Community Education of the Black Hills

Imagine spinning unique yarns from exotic fleeces and luscious rovings…just as your ancestors did! If you're interested in fiber arts, there's nothing like making your own products. This hands-on intro class will teach you the basics of spinning on a wheel using a variety of prepared wool materials. We will also discuss carding, finishing, and plying. Students will have the chance to try several models of spinning wheels and will go home with a skein or two of handspun yearn! Class will take a 1-hour lunch break on your own. NOTE: Please plan to spin in your stocking feet. $20 supply fee paid to instructor.
