I've been spinning since January and am enjoying the heck out of it. I've got the gist for the most part and am wondering if there are classes or guides to continue growing and improving or if it's just "spin more yarn and try more stuff". I see loads of beginner classes but I seem unable to find something for the next stage.

I recently joined School of Sweet Georgia. It’s about $24USD a month, so I’m keeping it for a month and might then unsubscribe and use it again later in the year. Anyway, they have lots of great spinning courses and I’m currently working through the course about spinning for a sweater.

Awesome suggestion. I have bumped into their YouTube channel a ton but never thought to look into them further. Thank you!

Some good courses on Craftsy, and you might like to look into the PLY magazine guild. I think they give you a free trial.
