Spindle Exploration

About Spindle Exploration

Discover the purpose behind a spindle's size, shape, and weight. Learn the ideal yarn diameter range for each weight spindle. Cynthia, a spindle maker, loves to share her passion for spindle spinning. Students learn how to pair fiber and spindle for a desired yarn. This class covers spindles with a whorl and hook, including top, bottom, drop, and supported. Students will learn what the spindle contributes in spinning yarn and how to apply it to Turkish spindles and other styles.

Students may ask about their own spindles and fiber as time permits.

This class is limited to 50 students.
