I think this is a good idea. It needs to have lots of short entries and be simple. It is all too easy to get carried away. Perhaps it should be in two sections: the real simple and the other.

Topics
How to make a yarn by twist and pull in the hand. A brief look at wool (crimp and some other technical words)

Preparation of wool by simple teasing.
(Rolags go to the more complex back section)

State the Wheel is just a twist machine. Then some details about a wheel for beginners, ie names of various parts and where to oil. Tension adjustment.
How to attach a leading thread.
How to join in the wool ie with a loop.
How to start the wheel moving and which way to turn(Clockwize for spinning)
What to do with each hand.

How to longdraw. Refer back to hand twisting and elaborate.
Use of the hook. How to fill a bobbin
( Keep a mental note of wherabouts the yarn is on the bobbin to make it easier to find a thread.)

How to ply: Lazy Kate, Turn wheel anti clockwise
How to make a skein with a niddy noddy. (Needs a good diagram)
How to tie a skein
Setting the skein How to hang skeins to dry.

Although much of this applies to any spinner, these are points that a novice NEEDS to know.

Someone needs to do good drawings. ANy offers.

After the Knuston weekend I should have some further ideas as to what people want/need to know.
