We will see demonstrations on a spinning wheel as well as hands on to make your own yarn. There will be time to practice with supervision, along with homework. 

You can bring your own wheel, or use the studio wheel, or purchase a new Kromski wheel. Roving is included in class fee.

Should you decide to purchase a new Kromski wheel you may take advantage of a payment plan.

QCAR Alpaca Gift Shop now sells Kromski spinning wheels and accessories. We have the whole line of spinning wheels, looms, hand carders, Niddy Noddies and parts available for purchase. Service charges for repairs available by David Wysong
