learning to spin classes and learn to weave class no experience needed

 Yesterday Mel and her granddaughter came for a learn to spin yarn class 

Nora is just 11 years old…

 Here she is spinning on A louet classic double treadle spinning wheel after we had about a hour of drop spinng 

  mel has a drum carder  at home so i showed Nora how to card her own batts for spinning . i thought the two would enjoy doing  that together back at their home so some tips and ideas would inspire them  !

 

here she is carding her first batt! adding sparkles …

  drop spinning

  she went off oher own after about 15 minutes of instruction

 ! here are the spindles i use Golding drop spindles here
always sucessful with these balanced rim weighted spindles

 mel wanted to learn  about her scotch tension wheel victoria the louet traveling wheel here

she is spinning merino and learning the difference between bobbin lead wheels and scotch tension wheels 

                                                                                💜

  Nora squealed with delight spinning , and carding… anxiety drops away when the magic of fibers twisting thought your fingers casts it's spell on you!

  mel wanted to learn how to ply… she we did ! on her LOUET S10C WHEEL HERE

 and she did absoutely amazing at plying 

I just heard back from Mel

 " Nora is showing everyone her skein of yarn she spun she is  so delighted . thank you so much we will be back next week"
