A fun workshop to introduce you to the art of spinning your own yarn using a drop spindle, a great activity for fans of crocheting, knitting, weaving or tapestry.
What is a drop spindle? A drop spindle is a tool for spinning fibres into lengths of yarn or threads. As the name suggests, it drops down and hangs from your fibres whilst its spinning.

This 1.5-hour workshop will show you the basics of spinning wool fibres into your own yarn, which you will then be able to take home. You will have use of a drop spindle in the workshops, and a choice of many colours of fibre to use interchangeably.

You will learn:

How to hold and use a drop spindle

How to handle wool tops

How to change colours

How to ply your yarn

A great way for any yarn enthusiast to spend a few hours discussing yarn origins and future projects whilst learning a new addictive skill.

Please consider the following:

This workshop requires fine motor skills in the hands and fingers of both hands and requires full movement of both arms. You can of course take breaks when needed, but you will need to be able to work with your arms elevated for extended periods. You will be seated forward in your seat for the majority of the session, again of course you may take breaks!
