Learn how to spin yarn class and winding a warp and making special Saori ready made warp class at Saori Santa Cruz

 Antoinette had ankle problems  ( 3 surgeries ) and could not treadle well  on her wheel anymore. so she came to learn how spin on the Ashford Super Jumbo electric spinner!
















Antoinette was wonderfully successful she spun a huge skein and plied it with metallic thread .
A big part of her sucess was the ASHFORD SPUPER JUMBO ELECTRIC WHEEL HERE they are hard to find in stock 
the ASHFORD SUPER JUMBO is an electric version of the popular coubntry spinner 2  treadle wheel but a much smaller foot perint and portable  are in such high demand that Ashford can not manufacture them fast enough and are sold out. However i have one in stock, she bought the one she was using but i have another in stock other wise the wait is the end of october 2021 till a new batch is manufactured

Tori came for a try it class 
I am being very careful as i need to stand close to students so i still require masks `and proof of  vaccination to take a class 


 I  throughly disinfect all looms, wheels  and tools after each student 




  
  







tori wanted a hanging from her first piece so i have her a branch to tie her saori weaving onto.

beautiful !
