Learn the magic of spinning fibre into handspun yarn.

In this workshop, Diane Murphy, from the Irish Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers, will guide you in the art of spinning yarn on a drop spindle. Together, we will discover a variety of fibre preparations, go through the process of drafting and adding twist to create your own unique hand spun yarn. Spindles and materials will be provided for use during the workshop. Spindles will also be available to purchase by participants if desired.
