Alanna Wilcox

201 Beginning Spinning, Wheel and Electric Spinner Friendly

This workshop is designed for beginners who want a practical, encouraging start to spinning on a wheel or electric spinner. Alanna will guide you step-by-step through setup, basic mechanics, and the foundational drafting skills that make spinning feel understandable and repeatable.

You will sample a variety of fiber types and preparations to learn what you enjoy spinning and why different fibers behave the way they do. Throughout the workshop, you will receive supportive coaching and clear troubleshooting so common problems feel solvable instead of frustrating.

By the end, you will leave with yarn on your bobbins, a simple plan for continued practice, and the confidence to keep spinning at home. Plying and basic finishing will be included.
