Drop Spindle Spinning Workshop

Discover the ancient art of turning fiber into yarn! In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to use a drop spindle to spin your own beautiful, hand-twisted yarn from natural fibers. We’ll begin by meeting the source, the friendly Finn sheep at the homestead, and exploring how their fleece becomes soft, spinnable fiber. Then the instructor will talk about the basics of spinning:
-Preparing fiber
-Drafting wool
-Spinning
-Winding
-Setting the twist.

You will get a chance to try out the spinning wheel at the end!

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a curious crafter, you’ll leave knowing how to spin your own yarn and a deep appreciation for the process. All materials are provided. Just bring your curiosity and love for creating!
