Drop Spindle Workshop – June 2025

Workshop is 2 hours on one date.

The drop spindle has been used to create yarn and thread throughout the ages. It is considered to be one of the earliest tools made by man, used across all cultures.

This is a fun and interesting craft to learn, appealing to handspinners who also knit, crochet or weave.
