Ever wondered how fluffy fiber becomes beautiful yarn? In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of spinning on a wheel — from treadling smoothly to drafting fiber evenly and adjusting your wheel’s tension for the perfect spin. No experience required!
Supplies are not included in the cost, you may bring your own fiber or we will have fiber available for purchase. Students are encouraged to bring their own spinning wheel if they have one, but we’ll also have a wheel available for demonstration and practice. By the end of class, you’ll understand the mechanics of your wheel and have the confidence to start creating your own handspun yarn.

I’ve been hooked on fiber crafts since I learned to crochet at 14, and my passion has only grown! By 22, I was spinning my own yarn, and a year later, I dove into dyeing and processing fiber. At 25, I picked up knitting, completing my fiber journey. I’m always up for learning new techniques and taking on creative challenges. If it involves yarn, fiber, or needles, I’m in!

As a mom of 5, I started crocheting and knitting to outfit my babies. As they grew, I was completely hooked on yarn crafts and discovered the deep rabbit hole of different patterns and got addicted to sock knitting. My knitting motto is: "Anything is possible, it is all just one stitch at a time!"

My mother is what you would call a "handy maker" and as a young child I was fascinated by what she was doing. I guess I got "in her face" once too often because by the time I was five she had stuck a crochet hook in my hands. That was the beginning of my life as a creative; you could say I was "hooked".

I've been crocheting for roughly 20 years. I'm newer to knitting and enthusiastically enjoying the journey. I appreciate the opportunity to share my love of the fiber arts with budding crafters.
