This class is for anyone who knows how to spin and is ready to take it to the next level. Learn plying techniques for the drop spindle: we'll spin single-ply yarns together to make multi-ply yarns for a range of knitting, crocheting, and weaving projects. We will also explore color play. Bring your singles and your spindle; leave with some beautiful new handspun yarn. Note: Kristen will also bring her dyed roving for sale should students want more.
Instructor: Kristin Judkins

Join us for an invigorating evening of art + fun! Appetizers provided. Bring a drink of your choice. All classes are held at the Arnold Block. 245 Main Street, Bethel, VT 05032.
Registration Required! https://www.arnoldblockvt.com/art-appetizers

Spinning wool can be a relaxing, meditative, and therapeutic activity. If you've ever wanted to try your hand at spinning your own yarn, this class is for you. We will learn to spin a single-ply yarn on a cd drop spindle. Drop spindles and fiber are provided, but if you have a spindle of your own or some fiber that you'd like to work with, bring it and we will get you spinning. There will also be a follow-up class 3 weeks after this one that will cover a variety of plying techniques, so you can learn to make just the yarn you want for your knitting, crocheting, and weaving projects. Note: Kristen will also bring extra dyed roving for sale should students want more.
