- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Your life is filled with textiles made from various spun threads and yarn. Come deepen those connections with the fibers that are deeply woven into many aspects of our lives by trying your hand at one of the earliest ways to handspin yarn using a drop spindle.

Join us for a fun, educational and meditative day of learning the top whirl dropspindle, and maybe some other styles as well. We will prepare, card and spin raw wool fleece to create yarn on a drop spindle. You may have time to try different types of fibers and even different types of spindles. You will get to take home your first handspun yarn, as well as a drop spindle to continue exploring this new skill.
