What do I need?

You will need a working spinning wheel.  If you're not sure whether yours is working properly we can have a chat beforehand.  You'll also need bobbins, an orifice hook, prepared top, a Lazykate and a ruler or yarn gauge.  We have a selection of accessories that can be bought to accompany the course .

FAQs

I'm a complete beginner, I've never used a wheel before, is this course for me?

Absolutely!  Complete beginners are the people we had in mind when we designed the course and who we teach every week.

I'm from outside the UK, will this make a difference?

Not at all, we welcome people from all over the world.  The course is in English so you would need to speak English well but if you have a wheel and fibre, you're good to go

How long can I keep the course for?

The course is yours to keep. You will probably find that it's helpful to watch some parts over and over while you hone your technique.  We do ask that you don't share this course or watch it in a public forum, we've worked hard to provide a quality online workshop and this is our main source of income so please help small businesses like us by not sharing content publicly.

If you have any questions before you decide to join us then ask away and we will do our best to help, we want you to love spinning yarn as much as we do and will do all we can to help you succeed.  Email us at
