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

BEGINNING DROP SPINDLE SPINNING

June 16 Monday 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 ($28). By Caitlin Wilson.

Please purchase your class supplies before the first day of class.
