Drop Spindle Workshop
Learn how to spin your own artisan yarn using a drop spindle with The Colour Dasher on this fun workshop at Out of the Blue Drill Hall in July.
About Drop Spindle Workshop
A fun workshop to introduce you to the art of spinning your own yarn using a drop spindle, a great activity for fans of crocheting, knitting, weaving or tapestry!
What is a drop spindle?
A drop spindle is a tool for spinning fibres into lengths of yarn or threads. As the name suggests, it drops down and hangs from your fibres whilst it's spinning.
This 1.5-hour workshop will show you the basics of spinning wool fibres into your yarn, which you will then be able to take home. You will have use of a drop spindle in the workshops, and a choice of many colours of fibre to use interchangeably.
There will also be starter kits available for purchase if you would like to continue at home!
