Jeanie has been a textile enthusiast since childhood. She learned to sew, embroider and crochet as a preteen. As an adult ,she wanted to make her own yarn for projects, so she learned to spin and then to weave on a variety of looms.
Jeanie will demonstrate basic spinning tools, supplies and techniques.
If you already spin, bring your spindles & wheels for a fun time spinning together. Beginners will get hands on practice to pre-draft fibers and try out spinning on a drop spindle and spinning wheel. Different types of fiber will be provided for the workshop. There is no fee to participate.
Jeanie has mastered a variety of fiber arts techniques. She presently is a teacher at Knit and Stitch Boutique in Cocoa Village. She helped organize this year’s Tour de Fleece and runs a twice monthly Spin In at the shop.
