Learn to spin several types of fiber into thread and yarn in just two days! We’ll start by exploring basic tools, customs and processes while using “drop spindles.” You’ll also get a chance to use a spinning wheel and learn to ply yarn. You’ll go home with your own spun yarn fiber plus lots of fiber (wool, alpaca and cotton) to use with your drop spindle.
