Curious about the magic of turning wool and other textiles into yarn? On Sept. 19th from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm, members of our guild will be at the Whitehorse Public Library spinning assorted fibres into yarn. It’s part of Worldwide Spin in Public Day, which began over 15 years ago in the U.S. What started as a local idea quickly spread worldwide, with events now popping up in parks, museums, city squares, and cafes across continents.

It’s about more than just spinning; it’s about preserving a timeless skill, connecting with community, and demystifying where our yarn truly comes from in an age of fast fashion. We hope you can join us.
