Learning to Spin with Michelle
As well as making contact with me to book these courses, you can also book through craftcourses.com. Beginners can be booked by clicking here and art yarn by clicking here. Whichever way you choose, I look forward to welcoming you to the south west of Scotland for a day to create yarn!
1. Complete Beginner
If you want to learn the basics of spinning and have no or very little experience, this is the day for you. We will look at the basics to get you started, and work through to plying. Either you can bring your own wheel, or use one here. If you haven’t decided on whether spinning is for you yet, this is a great experience.
2. Art Yarn Spinning
This class is for the more experienced spinner. You will need a wheel with a large orifice, or you can use one here. We will go through various techniques to make different art yarns and gain lots of skills by the end of the day to create your own unique yarns.
A day at The Spinning Shed (it's not an actual shed, don't worry) learning to spin or art yarn spinning, is £105 per person, which includes all fluff and takes place from 10 til 4. The classes are relaxed and informal, allowing you time and space to learn new techniques. Michelle will guide you in your creativity on a one to one basis, allowing you to go away comfortable with what you’ve learned. The day will start with tea/coffee and cake. Please bring a packed lunch.
If you would like to book a day's course, please get in touch with your preferred availability dates and Michelle will quickly get back to you.
