Learn the basics for spinning your own warm, soft and wooly yarn. You will learn the gentle, easy rhythm of spinning in a relaxed setting. The White Violet Center has spinning wheels and sheep’s wool for you to use during this interactive and unique workshop. Students may also bring their own wheels and fiber if they choose. This class is suitable for absolute beginners as well as folks who are hoping to brush up on any rusty skills.

Light refreshments will be available. Please indicate any food allergies or dietary preferences in the registration form.
