See Yourself Behind the Wheel?
Spinning is one of those practical crafts that is both enjoyable and creative. Using the raw materials of fleece and fibre, you produce handspun yarn that inspires in design and style. You can take full advantage of colour, making delightful and extraordinary combinations.
Spinning is environmentally friendly. The wheel is powered by legs and feet and there is only the smooth, rhythmic and relaxing sound as the wheel and fibre, together, and swoosh their way into yarn formation.
The reward of spinning yarn is not only in the satisfaction of preparing the materials but also in the completing and wearing the garment you have made yourself, from first principles. You will develop your own style and wear your completed creation with pride.

A Spinning Adventure at the End of the World
Most people would holiday at a warm and carefree place, where rest and relaxation come easily. When you are a spinner, though, rest and relaxation goes with you in the form of your wheel. Carrying it with you, the wheel becomes an indispensable part of your holiday gear, no matter where you go. In this instance, the wheel is in addition to the boots, parka, hat, gloves, scarf and backpack needed to survive in this new environment.
