About me
I started spinning about 2 years ago, and realized there is room for venues to learn spinning. I moved here 9 years ago from Massachusetts with horses. I can help you to get started with spinning. If you are an experienced spinner, I would encourage you to join me for a fiber getaway, and share your skills with others.
