Spinning Yarns from the Spinning Wheel February 7, 2009

Spinning yarn always looks so peaceful, and in this workshop participants will find out why so many people choose to spin their own yarn. Students will learn to spin wool into yarn and learn to ply as the Navajo did. Spinning the wheel to create yarn seems to match body rhythms and sooth stressed souls. This class will focus on the very beginnings of spinning on the spinning wheel. Participants will leave the class with several skeins of yarn of various plies and weights. Take this class early so you can sit by the fire and spin this winter. This program has been organized by the VMFA Office of Statewide Partnerships and is funded, in part, by the Jean Stafford Camp Memorial Fund. All materials included.
