Introduction to Drop Spinning

Spinning is the foundation of fiber arts, the literal building blocks for knitting, weaving, lacemaking, crochet, and beyond.

In this course you will learn how to spin wool with a top whorl drop spindle. You will learn about the different types of spindles, a little about the range of wool and animal fibers available and how to prepare fibers. You will leave class with a small skein of your own hand spun wool.

Spinning with a drop spindle is a portable and relaxing way to make yarn.
