Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have prior spinning experience?

Absolutely not!

Is it okay that I do have spinning experience?

As long as you are comfortable holding space for beginners, it can never hurt to practice the basics.

Can I bring my own spindle/fiber?

You absolutely can, we do supply both and given the range of spindles it can be easier for a class environment for standardized tools. However we are fiber nerds through and through and will try and meet you where you are at with what you bring, especially if it has a story.
