Beginning Spinning

2-Part Workshop:

• Saturday. Ocotober 19th | 2:00pm-4:00pm

Parts 1 and 2 of this workshop will take place at different locations:

• Part 1 (Oct. 12th): Pioneer Park Centennial Center
• Part 2 (Oct. 19th): Fairbanks Weavers and Spinners Guild (Fairgrounds)

Learn the basics of creating yarn with a spinning wheel. The first session covers spinning wheel mechanics and spinning a single-ply yarn. Students then take a wheel home to practice for a week, and in the second session they create two-ply yarn and explore additional techniques. If you are already a fiber crafter of some kind, learning to spin your own custom yarn opens up a whole new world of possibilities!
