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.
Instructor: Kristin Judkins
