Curious about spinning but not quite ready to invest in a wheel?  Drop spindle is for you!  Learn to create beautiful handspun yarns, combine fibers and practice your gauge.

This class includes 2 sessions with 2 hours of instruction each.  You'll learn all about carding your yarn and drop spindle spinning to make your own yarn creations.  Additional roving is available for sale in the shops.  See class handout for materials included.  No homework ahead of class.  No previous experience necessary.

Finished size 24cm x 36cm (excluding fringe) 

We love to share our passion of all things yarn, so we hope you'll come play with us! Classes are held 2 weeks apart so you’ll have time to spin. Make sure you can attend both classes. We DO NOT offer make-ups for missed classes.

Beginning Drop Spindle: 2 classes, $245

Materials Included: Ashford Introduction to Spinning Kit - 1 pair of small handcarders, Ashford Drop Spindle, 650gm of Corriedale wool, instructions.
