Let’s make yarn! Students will learn to spin with a traditional drop spindle. We will prepare and use natural fleece from local sheep as well as colorful dyed wool that has been blended with silk. At the end students will take home a small skein of their newly spun yarn. Hand spun yarns can be used in handwork class for things like doll hair or the mane on a knitted horse. Students who attended this club in Spring of 2024 could register for either the Monday or Wednesday club.
