Learn to spin your own yarn on a spinning wheel

with Diane Fisher from Murmuring Wheel.

If you have your own spinning wheel, please feel free

to bring it along.

We will be aiming to cover the basics of spinning and

plying. So that everyone has a skein of their own

yarn to take away at the end of the session.

Places are limited so booking is essential.

The photographs show an example of the garments that can be made- alternative designs and styles are welcome.
