Join our instructor, Magan, from @oiche.rua at the Hello Maker studio to learn the art of making yarn!
A drop spindle is one of the oldest spinning tools, and is still used today around the world. Spindle spinning is a portable, light weight, and easy to practice technique. In this workshop students will learn how to use a high whorl drop spindle to spin yarn. Students will practice a basic drafting technique, how to start spinning, and attach new fibre. During this workshop the teacher will discuss how to identify spinner friendly fibres, and how to transform the spun yarn into a skein of yarn. Spindles and materials will be provided, students will bring home the yarn they have spun, and students will have the option to purchase a drop spindle and fibre.
