Our newest class, Electrifying Long Draw - by popular demand.  Amelia says long draw spinning is not for the faint of heart!  It takes time to master.  However, with her great instruction techniques, she's happy to show you the steps to follow to master it.  It is her favorite way to spin!

"Long draw's smooth efficiency enticed me to master it; I love the graceful motions it uses to draft and create yarn. Even getting a rudimentary ability to long draw can improve your spinning by increasing your drafting spectrum." says Amelia

For this class you will need to have on hand:
1/2 oz fine wool top (merino, cormo or other short-staple fine wool)
1/2 oz of ONE of these; cashmere, camel, or yak top (optional)
1/2 oz of UPLAND cotton sliver (other kinds will work, but upland is the best)

You may want to have 8 ounces each of the fine wool top and cotton sliver so you can keep practicing after the class.  Cashmere/camel/yak are usually more expensive, so you may want to master cotton first.  But they can be easier to long draw than cotton, so if you have a bit to try, it can help you be successful.

This class will go over how to spin long draw on a flyer and on a quill.  We will spend the first hour on the flyer, the second on the quill.  This method of spinning feels like a dance when all is going well!

This class is for experienced e-spinners master spinning and plying on your e-spinner before tackling long draw.  And pack your patience, as practice is your key tool to learning long draw

Demand for our classes has been amazing...so if you are interested be sure to "buy" right away!
