Learn to spin on a Turkish spindle – whether it’s your first introduction to the age-old art of spinning, or you’re a wheel spinning veteran and want a more portable option.
This 3-hour class is open to all ages, from 8-year-olds through senior adults.
We’ll cover the basics of spinning yarn from prepared fiber, including drafting, twisting and winding on the spindle, plus plying from center-pull balls.
Students will take home one of these shimmering 3-D printed Turkish spindles, fiber to continue practicing their skills, and ideas for things to make from their own handspun yarn.
Class: Saturday, October 20, 2018 from 9 am – noon.
