Description:
Spindles are remarkable tools that are used around the world. They come in many shapes and sizes, but all work the same way - as they have done for over 20,000 years - to put twist into fibres, resulting in a wide range of usable yarns. In this workshop you will have the opportunity to spin many different fibres on many different spindles and will learn to use yours to produce beautiful hand-spun yarn. As well, you will use your spindle and some different plying techniques to produce properly balanced plied yarns. By day's end you could be knitting up a hat to keep you warm this coming winter!
