🐑🐑 Spin Cotton, Wool & Flax with a Spindle at Woodspirit School! 🧶🧶
Choose one or both days ($60 or $100)
WOOL: Saturday, June 13, 10am-4pm
COTTON & FLAX: Sunday, June 14, 10am-4pm
Optional: Friday, June 12, 6pm Turning Flax into Cloth Craft Night Series presentation & demonstration with Jazmin Hicks-Dahl. Watch or take part in the processes of making flax plants into fiber, thread and cloth.
Description: Spinning fiber into thread is a fundamentally human, age old skill that transverses eons of time and human cultures. Since we have had hands and fingers, and felt cold, we have known how to spin thread. We will begin learning this challenging and (when you get the hang of it) relaxing activity in this introductory course by settling in, relaxing, and focusing on coordination and feel. We will try out both suspended (“drop”) spindles and supported spindles (they spin on something) to turn fibers into thread. We will progress to plying, using nostepinne and niddy noddy, as time allows. We will discuss fiber preparation, washing, finishing, organizing and storing your thread, preparation for dyeing, and using your thread for weaving and knitting. Resources for exploring more spindles and fibers will also be shared.
