Corespinning and Beyond
The method that lets you make a huge variety of fancy yarns!
Art yarns teach you so much as a spinner, you can't spin excellent, structurally sound art yarns unless you have great wheel control, an understanding of twist, and are secure in your drafting technique.
Corespinning is one of my favourite art yarn techniques. I taught myself how to do it 10 years ago, and have since taught it in-person to hundreds of spinners. From the basic technique you can spin a huge variety of yarns, with really varied appearances, and they'll all be structurally sound, and work for a huge variety of purposes. You can spin these yarns on any type of spinning wheel.
Oh, and they're just great fun!
This course is laid out in the the way I like to learn with a mixture of written explanations, diagrams, photos and short video clips. It's broken down in to mini-lessons, so you can move through the workshop at the speed that works for you, and go back and re-do the sections you want to work on easily. It also allows you to skip sections if it's content that you're already familiar with. Altogether there are 90 minutes of filmed content, but they're designed to be short clips, with no waffling, and to be watched through more than once.
Take your spinning to new highs...
