Are you a passionate knitter ready to deepen your understanding of yarn? Have you woven your way to the end of your stash? In this class, you will learn to make your own yarn using a drop spindle. Create unique yarns you can't buy in the store and become a better knitter as you explore why and how yarn behaves the way it does. Suitable for all ages, geared toward individuals who have never spun or for those who have tried and failed. A top-whirl spindle and fiber will be provided.

Do you like to get dirty? Do you like plants? Do you like the accomplishment of doing something from start to finish?

If so, this is your fiber class!

We’ll spend the morning learning how flax grows and how to process it for fiber. Talk about locally grown, we’ll be working with flax grown fifty feet from the fiber studio! Students will have the opportunity to work together and prep their own flax fiber for spinning.

We’ll break bread together, then spend the afternoon learning to prepare our flax fiber for spinning, how best to spin it, and how to finish it for use.
