Drop Spinning Beginner Class

What is Drop Spinning?

What are Fiber Arts?

Have you ever made anything with yarn?

Have you ever wondered about how yarn is made?

Want to give it a try?

Whether you have never picked up a spindle before or are currently able to lap spin or park and draft, I can make you more comfortable and confident in your future spinning adventures.  We will go over some basic spinning information and terminology; I promise, no pop quizzes.  But I love sharing my love of spinning and nerdy side with some fun science stuff. 

Bring your spindle or borrow one of mine.  I will also have spindles available for purchase. 

Approximately 2 oz of fiber will be provided per student.  If you have a drop spindle, feel free to bring it. However, you are still welcome to try one of mine.

There are no prerequisites for this class.

BIO:

Renee Love truly enjoys sharing her love of spinning with people. She has taught spinning both on wheels and drop spindles for years. She has helped teach new spinners while selling wheels and spindles for other vendors and fiber arts related stores for years. In 2017, Renee started designing and making some unique drop spindles, now she sells both in person and on her website. In 2021 Renee founded her own business, Wavellite Creative LLC. Renee can have a non-spinner walk up to her and in a short time have a new spinner excited to go on this great new fiber arts adventure! Renee has been complimented by many students for having a great way of conveying the needed information in more than one way, better ensuring a level of success and confidence in future spinning endeavors.
