Joy reviewed: Drop Spindle Hand Spinning Taster Workshop

"I had a wonderful time learning the drop spindle. Theresa is really knowledgeable and was able to quickly see where improvements could be made (and also dealt with having a left-hander!) By the end of the session, I'd not just spun a thread, but been shown how to ply two pieces together and now have a very respectable little length of wool for my weaving projects! (Also, thank you, Theresa, for the gift bag of wool and spindle - I've been keeping up my practice!)"

The Spinning Barn responded:

"Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your day and glad to hear that you are still spinning on your spindle. Keep up the good work. Theresa x"

Ros Wood reviewed: Hand Spinning For All - Norfolk

"Thanks Theresa for a wonderful day yesterday. As a total beginner who had never even picked up a drop spindle before, it was very satisfying to go home with a skein of (somewhat quirky!) yarn. I appreciated your patience and encouragement, particularly as I was the only person in the group with zero experience. Thanks for letting me try a couple of different wheels. I’m raring to go now, and am going to look at an Ashford Traveller someone near me is selling. If it suits, I will be able to get practicing before I forget everything you taught us!"

The Spinning Barn responded:

"Thank you so much for such a wonderful review Ros. It was my absolute pleasure to teach you and I know that you will be a life long spinner from now onwards! I can't wait to hear all about your progress so do keep in touch. Best wishes Theresa"

Judith reviewed: Hand Spinning For All - Norfolk

"What an enjoyable day at The Spinning Barn. Theresa so friendly and encouraging - small group and excellent tuition, the day flew by and I came away wishing I had another day there and eager to get practising on my own spinning wheel! Definitely will go back. "

The Spinning Barn responded:

"Thank you so much Judith. I am delighted that you felt inspired to go home and use your wheel. I know youwill make many memories as well as lots of fabulous yarns. Best wishes Theresa"

Jenny H reviewed: Hand Spinning For All - Norfolk

"I had the most amazing day learning the basics of spinning with Theresa. I was with a small group of lovely likeminded people and we all benefited from Theresa’s many years of experience and patient teaching - lots of hand on spinning and ample time to ask questions/explore the craft. Thank you Theresa - once I have practised a bit I will definitely be back for another course! "

The Spinning Barn responded:

"Thank you so much Jenny. Im so pleased that you enjoyed it and I know you are going to really throw yourself into this fabulous craft. Can't wait to watch your progress. "
