Spinning wheel and 4 bobbins plus lazy kate, for plying or a spindle and comfort plying on spindles. Fiber preparation tools such as handcards or combs are useful, I will have limited supplies of these to share. Please note: if you bring an e-spinner please make sure to bring a fully charged battery and a table or stool for your wheel, most venues do not have extra chairs to use for your wheel and easily accessible outlets for all spinners. It is your responsibility to make sure you can use your e-spinner comfortably.
