Learn to spin fiber into yarn using a drop spindle! Create a beautiful skein of hand spun yarn and explore a variety of earthen fibers. You will walk away from this workshop with your yarn and all of the wisdom and tools that you need to keep spinning at home.
Fiber spinning has been an essential skill throughout the history of human kind. Yarn is the foundation for all fabric and for most of history, these threads have been spun by hand! We all have spinners in our bloodlines, and through spinning we honor them and connect with and the Earth, Spirit, and beyond. We become alchemists; spinning earthen fibers into threads to be woven anew; infused with out unique essence. The ancient art of spinning is an empowering, meditative, humbling, fun, grounding and useful practice!
