Information - Drop Spindle Spinning

Learn all about the ancient ways of making wool! Jan Biddle from @wollenstone will guide you through the basics of making wool on a drop spindle. The drop spindle preceded the spinning wheel and is a great way to create with a basic kit and can be done anywhere!

Finished yarns will be washed and ready to collect a few days later.

This workshop is a wonderful introduction into working with fibres in a traditional way.

All tools and materials are provided, with an option to buy your own spinner and materials to take away and carry on spinning at home!

Please let us know if you prefer woolen or bamboo fibres, in the additional info/special requirements box.
