Drop Spinning: From Spindle to Yarn

Fiber Arts Series

Join Melissa in learning how to do all the steps to Drop-Spin your own yarn, and gain all the tools so you can keep doing it at home! For ages 10+.

This 6 part series will explore going from making your own tools, to ending with finished yarn! All supplies will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own. You can take the entire series, or skip ones that you got to take before if you'd like.
