This workshop is an introduction to the making of your first length of yarn. This will include speaking about the best fibre for beginners, various kinds of spindles, learning to make a leader on the spindle, spinning and making a sample.

Spinning is an ideal craft. It connects us to what our grandmothers did. It is beautiful and it is a excercise in mindfulness and meditation.

All materials included for the session. No experience necessary. Limit 6 participants.

Instructor Christina Dashko loves to play with textiles! Her work includes, spinning, knitting, embroidery and painting.
