Spinning on a Spinning Wheel: Making yarn from A to Z
Length: 8 hrs
Public : Adults / from 16 years old
An introduction to spinning wool. You'll learn how to spin sheep's wool on a spinning wheel, and create your own skeins of wool.
Programme:
- Carding the wool with hand cards to prepare the fleece for spinning.
- Spinning sheep's wool, using a spindle and a pedal wheel.
- Creating a twisted yarn
- Let yourself be carried away by the rhythm of the spinning wheel's pedal, and the pleasure of the thread of wool being built up between thumb and forefinger.
- The risk: never being able to stop spinning!
