Learn the Ancient Craft of Hand Spinning

Sharing the Joy of Hand Spinning Yarn from The Spinning Barn in King's Lynn, Norfolk.

"I had wanted to learn to spin for years and was excited to get my first wheel. I'd read the books, watched countless videos and thought it would just happen, but it didn't. And then I discovered The Spinning Barn. So welcoming, encouraging and patient. I went from feeling really fed up to being an avid spinner, all thanks to Theresa. Thank you."
