Make your own yarn!!

In this beginner-level class, you'll learn to spin your own yarn using a simple tool called a drop spindle -- no spinning wheel required!

  • How to prepare fiber for spinning on a drop spindle
  • Everything you need to know to start spinning yarn, including:
    • Pre-drafting and staple length
    • Attaching a leader
    • Spindling
    • Potential problems and how to fix them
    • Plying
Each student will make a 4-ounce ball of wool yarn, which you can use to knit, weave, or simply to take home and admire!

Four ounces of wool fiber is included with class, and drop spindles will be provided for use during class.

Skill Requirements:

No previous experience is required for this class. All are welcome!
