Make Your Own Yarn!!!!

Do you knit, crochet, or weave? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to spin your own yarn for your creations? If you have ever wondered how to spin yarn, this is the workshop for you. Ginger has been spinning for 40+ years and can show you how to get started. In this workshop, you will use a drop spindle to learn the basics of drafting and twist. You will take home a drop spindle and raw wool to practice.

Ginger will also bring in a few spinning wheels for you to try once you get the hang of it. This is a gateway workshop to other delectable topics in spinning, like using a spinning wheel, designing yarn for a specific project, and spinning ultra-soft exotics like silk, angora, and alpaca. It makes a great homeschool project. Class Sizes are small, so you get lots of one-on-one instruction.

You will take home your own drop spindle and 1 ounce of wool roving for practice.
