The following classes are being offered at Raveloe Fibers owned by Linda C. one of guild members and is being taught by fellow member Margaret N.

Diameter Control and the Art of Plying
Sunday, May 2 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
Bring a lunch!

You'll work on controlling your yarn--from very fine to fat and chunky. Spin for the project you want! And plying -- there's a bunch of ways. From multiple bobbins, a center-pull ball, navajo and andean plying. Materials will be provided, but you might also bring a bit of your own fiber to spin.

Please bring your wheel, lazy kate, and ideally three bobbins.
Price for the class is $45


Spinning 101 -- A Survey of Most Things Spinny
Sunday, June 6 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
Bring a lunch!

Will cover parts of the wheel, mechanics, drafting, short draw, long draw, over the fold, and a bit of plying. Also woolen and worsted prep, and how to plan for your project. Materials will be provided, but you might want to bring a bit of your own fiber to spin.

Please bring your wheel, lazy kate, and ideally three bobbins.
Price for the class is $45

  2. Hello,
    I'm possibly interested in the June 6th spinning lesson, but I think my wheel is missing a few things... I was given a gift of an antique flax wheel which I believe works fine (from what I can tell). I do need a driving band and extra bobbins - I'm guessing I may need a particular kind for my wheel.
    Could I buy these, and some wool I suppose, at the Raveloe Fibers store?
    Sorry for the long message, maybe I should just check out the store...
    Thanks, Meghan
