Join us for a day of learning and hands on fun! You will learn the process of skirting a fleece, scouring (washing the wool), carding and combing, and then finally spinning. You will be using drop spindles to spin on, with demonstrations on a spinning wheel. At the end of the workshop, you will go home with your very own drop spindle and handspun skein of yarn.
What to expect from this Workshop:
This Workshop is 5 hours long including a 1 hour lunch & lamb snuggle break.
You will learn all the steps on how to take a raw fleece straight off a sheep into ready to spin fiber. Including a mini lesson on spinning to get you started!
