Hand spindles are simple, primitive tools that have been used to create yarn by indigenous cultures, on every continent, since the beginning of time. Supported spindles, drop spindles, Myan Spinners, Scottish, Turkish, Navajo, and Russian spindles as well as Takli spindles from India. Each requires somewhat different techniques to produce yarn. In this workshop various types of hand spindles will be demonstrated and available for participants to give them a spin! Students will use wool roving to spin into yarn to take home. Supplies are provided but may also purchase a hand spindle in class ($20).
