A Taste of Drop Spindle Spinning

Saturday, April 27

9-10:30 a.m.

​

Have you tried Drop Spindle?  Need help or just want to give it a try?   I am confident I can get you spinning! Whether you have never picked up a spindle before or are currently able to lap spin or park and draft, I can make you more comfortable and confident in your future spinning adventures.  We will go over some basic spinning information and terminology; I promise, no pop quizzes.  But I love sharing my love of spinning and nerdy side with some fun science stuff.  Bring your spindle or borrow one of mine.  I will also have spindles available for purchase.  Approximately 2 oz of fiber will be provided per student.  Students should bring a drop spindle if they have one.

​

Class fee: $40, which covers all necessary supplies including the roving. Seating is limited!  Register for the class here.

​

Instructor is Renee Love of Wavellite Creative.  Maximum class size is 10.
