Elana will be at Yarn Diva’s for a drop-in class to help you out with any spinning questions or problems that you want to talk about.

- How do I spin using the different long-draws?
- How do I know when I have enough twist when I ply?
- How do I spin silk?
- How do I use handcards or wool combs?
- What is a diz and how do you use it?
- What are the different ways you can spin from a batt?
- How do I spin on a hand-spindle?
Prerequisites
This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn something new about their spinning. Or just fix something so that you can spin a little bit better.
Tools and Supplies You Need to Bring
- As this is a drop-in, you will need to bring the tools and fibre that you want to work with. If you don’t have a specific fibre that you want to learn about, give us a heads up so that Elana can have some available to purchase for that afternoon.
- If you are spinning, - a tube such as a paper towel or a toilet paper roll.
- If you are processing fibre (carding or combing it) - bring some small bags or envelopes to bring your fibre home with you.
Materials Included
