Fawn LeClair became mesmerized by the spinning wheel 7 years ago. Her mother had a wheel and offered to let her try it. Since that day, Fawn has been learning through ‘play’, how to spin and create things that seem mind boggling to most. She is a self-taught spinner and continues to create and learn new techniques to create amazing yarn. Two years ago, Fawn began working for the Nuevo Norte Alpaca farm and has had the privilege of hand spinning their gorgeous fleece and teaching spinning workshops on the farm as well as other places. Her teaching style is different and effective and her classes are meant to be enjoyed.
Learn to Spin – Beginner

Fawn will help you embrace the funky and relaxed style of spinning and possibly re-invent your thoughts on what ‘perfectly spun’ really is. Join her with an open mind and get ready to have fun!
