Our classes roughly follow Judith MacKenzie McCuin's book, "Teach Yourself Visually Handspinning". In class we'll begin by looking at (and fondling!) all kinds of fiber. Then each student will prep fiber with hand cards and/or a drumcarder and then spin the newly prepared fiber on a drop spindle. (Starting on a drop spindle is a GREAT way to learn about drafting fiber and the drafting zone!). Next, on to the spinning wheel! You will be making yarn in no time!!Our classes are now being held in our new 'studio' at www.freehavenfarm.com in Simpsonville.
Join us! You'll have a blast!

oh... i definitely would love to take one of your classes... i just cant swing it this go 'round...
will y'all be offering this class again?
and if so, are you familiar with kick spindles ... i recently acquired one but just havent gotten around to trying to figure it all out yet.
also... is your invite to meet with your group on mon nights(?) still open?
Hi Fiber Deviant,
Yes, the invite is still open!!
Join us!
Yep, we will be offering the class again. :)
LMK what dates/times would be good for you! We can customize the class but do believe this class series is the BEST for beginning spinners.

I can't make it this time either, but I am very interested
