Welcome to "Spinning on a Spinning Wheel"! This is the third class in my series on spinning. Prior to taking this class, I recommend watching part one and part two of the series which cover basic principles of spinning and spinning on a drop spindle. These classes will give you a good foundation before sitting down at your wheel. This class is geared towards beginning spinners, but may be helpful and interesting to more advanced spinners as well! This class will cover the following topics:

Parts of the wheel and why it works (also different tension systems and the ways they work)
Decoding ratios
How to oil your wheel
How to attach a leader and get started spinning
3 different drafting methods for beginners
How to avoid and fix things that can go wrong

These are the things you are going to need for this class:

a spinning wheel
wool roving
a piece of commercial cotton yarn (~4-5 ft)
spinning oil (ideally 30 weight or light machine oil)

Hope you join us for this class. Let's get spinning!
