Does the quantum spin of a particle relate to its frequency and wavelength? I cannot seem to find anything on this. If I were to guess, it seems that as $E = hf$, and $\omega = 2\pi f$, and $spin_1 = h/2\pi$, then $E/\omega = spin_1$.

Regards, Pete.

No. A photon always has spin $1$ regardless of its wavelength, frequency or energy. An electron always has spin $\pm \frac 1 2$. You are confusing two different uses of the term frequency.
