Drop Spindles were one of the earliest forms of creating threads and yarns for making cloth and clothing. Spinning wheels can be expensive. Using a drop spindle to start is a less expensive way enter the craft.
Each student in the class will be given a drop spindle to take home, 100g of Icelandic roving, and spinning instruction. Learn how to create the yarn, drafting the yarn, the park and draft method of winding yarn on the spindle. You'll also get some quality time with our Icelandic sheep!
