• Sunday 7 June: 10am-2pm

Spinning thread with a drop spindle is an ancient craft that has been practised throughout the world for thousands of years. Here you’ll learn the key techniques to start hand spinning beautifully soft yarn to add another dimension of depth to your knitting, crochet, or weaving projects. You’ll be given local wool to learn and there’ll also be an opportunity to purchase a drop spindle to take home with you to continue your spinning journey.
