In this workshop, you will learn how to card wool (combine fibers together by hand) and spin it into yarn using a drop spindle. You are welcome to bring your own yarn scraps from previous projects, or use mine, to blend with the provided wool and spin into an art yarn tweed. You will leave the workshop with a drop spindle and small carders to continue your handspun yarn endeavors outside of class.

Project support provided by The Open Fund, through the Poor Farm with funding from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Ruth Foundation for the Arts.

*note that there is a supported and a supporter payment option, this workshop is FREE but if you would like to donate so that we can continue to offer programming, there are options to.
