Remember all of those fabulous tips and advice that more experienced spinners shared with you when you first started spinning?  No?  Have you forgotten some of them due to information overload?  Well, fear not!

I will cover the questions that surface most often for spinners (wheel or spindle) and will offer suggestions on how to overcome problems and issues on a range of spinning topics.  Bring your questions or submit them ahead of time to TerriSpins@gmail.com.  I want to be prepared with the necessary tools and supplies!

Students should bring:
Note taking supplies.  A spinning wheel in good working order or spindles; and tools or fiber that are related to your questions - hand cards, nostepinne, etc.
