Would you like to to learn to spin your own yarn, dye wool, or wish to create your own fabulous textured fibre blends for spinning or felting?
"Michelle's attention to detail helped me to learn good technique & correct some bad habbits! Her refreshing creative perspective gave permission for me to think outside the square with my spinning".-student testimonial
