Classes & Workshops

Carmen has built a reputation as an enthusiastic spinning instructor, whose goal it is to convert knitters into ‘spinknitters’ one person at a time.  As she is often heard saying in her beginner class, “You haven’t knit until you’ve knit your own hand spun.”

All spinning classes take place at Carmen’s studio near Main and 30th Avenue in Vancouver.  Please note the studio is only open by appointment and for classes as it is a full production spinning and dyeing studio.
