Handwork: Next Level Spinning and Crochet Project

Let’s create with our hand spun yarns! Students will build their own drop spindles and spin with both natural wool and colorful dyed wool that has been blended with silk. Small skeins will be used to crochet a basket, belt, or headband to take home. Previous participation in the Handwork: Spinning Yarn on a Drop Spindle for Beginners club is required to register for this club.
