This Saturday July 1, the Fibrenauts are starting off the Tour de Fleece with a Spin in Space session starting at 12pm! Come and join us with wheels and drop spindles ready, or pick up a spindle to try your hand at spinning!
But I don’t know how to Spin…
That’s OK! We will be hosting mini workshops for those interested in learning to use a drop spindle.
We’re recommending that those learning pick up one of our Ashford top whorl spindles or Ashford Turkish Spindles. In anticipation of the Tour de Fleece, we have expanded our spinning fiber selection; try out one of our new merino/nylon blends from Hedgehog Fibres or 100% merino from Lornas Laces. More experienced spinners might like to try our silk/merino blend from Hedgehog.
