Seven beautiful ancestral spinning wheels, as well as the tools and all the wool necessary for learning will be at your disposal for this class. It is possible to rent a wheel for each week between the classes. If you have your own working spinning wheel, you can bring it and learn to spin on it. If you have a spinning wheel that needs a little TLC, you can bring that too, leave it to be repaired by a professional cabinetmaker and pick it up at the last class, ready to go.
