Classes and Workshops for 2012
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 “.
Carmen knits and spins for a living as well as consults as a spinning technician for Once Upon a Time. She has a love of all wheels from antique to modern and believes that with hands on interactive instruction, that anyone can spin straw into gold!
