overview of various plant and animal fiber, fiber

Work will be done on drop spindles and spinning
wheels. Students will leave class with a skein of
their own handspun wool yarn, instructions for
making an inexpensive drop spindle, and practice
fiber
No previous spinning experience is required, all
materials are provided. Rental wheels are available
