What is SPIN Camp?
It's 3 full days of fiber fun with friends. (This listing is for Day One of Camp with Heavenly Bresser if you want to come all 3 days, click here)
We'll be talking about all things wool, wheels, and yes, spinning.
Bring your traditional wheel, spindle, or e-spinner.
This is an opportunity to bring your spinning to the next level! This is not a learn to spin event. Most instruction will be directed to wheel spinning, so to get the most out of this retreat, it is best to be comfortable making yarn and plying on a wheel. If you are a spindle spinner, you should be confident adapting wheel techniques to your spindle spinning.

Thursday
Daily Focus - Colorplay
Campers will focus on fractals, learn about color theory for choosing braids for fractals, and also preparing fibers for fractal spinning. Then you'll spin those yarns!! Heavenly will also demonstrate and talk about spinning with other preparations like batts and rolags and what spinning techniques are suitable for those preparations. Heavenly will spend the entire day on Thursday with you!
