Convergence 2020 has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. This class is rescheduled for Convergence 2022.

“Where did Sleeping Beauty prick her finger?” How often do you hear that question when someone sees you spinning? Take a step back in spinning technology before the flyer and bobbin and discover the rhythm of spinning on a driven spindle. Learn to draft from the tip of the spindle and to alternate drafting and winding on with a quick reversal of the wheel. A spindle wheel is well-suited to delicate fibers and even single-handed spinning – useful on a charkha or great wheel.

Spinning wheel with quill spindle (not flyer and bobbin) is required. Must be able to spin & ply a basic yarn (on handspindle or flyer wheel).
