Detailed Description

This class is designed for students who have never used a drop spindle or spun any yarn.

Beginning Drop Spindle Spinning

April 28 (Mon.) 6-8 p.m., 1 day

Learn how to use a top or bottom whorl spindle to transform spinning fiber into yarn.  This beginning level class focuses on how to manage your fiber and spindle to make a continuous thread.  We will cover basic spinning terms, getting started, what to do with your spun yarn, and making 2-ply yarn.  Fiber will be provided in class.  Please plan to bring or purchase a 1- to 3-ounce spindle (60 mm) for class.  We recommend the small Ashford Top Whorl spindle ($25.50).  By Caitlin Wilson.
