Spinning Lessons

I had my first spinning lesson today. My first lesson on a wheel that is. Yes, I could have waited until I got my first wheel in the store, but the opportunity was too good to pass up.

Another reason I did not want to wait for my wheel was the opportunity to use a wheel that was not mine. And why you ask? As I dealer, I will be seeing a lot of wheels (hopefully). I want the opportunity to learn what wheels are out there - how they work, what they look like and which I would prefer.

When I get my wheels in, I plan to have them open to customers for just this reason. A wheel is like a car. A big investment for the average crafter. How can you buy one without trying it out?

So I had FUN all day today. It was hilarous. I had to ask someone to leave the store because their laugher (at my expense of course) was very distracting. I found that is STILL cannot spin much large than lace weight on a wheel. But like on a drop spindle, it will take practice- Lots and Lots of practice.

I will post picture soon of what I have completed.
