For thousands of years, long before the invention of the spinning wheel, people as young as five years of age had to learn to spin yarn for clothing, carpets, bags and fishing nets. While spindles vary in design, the basic technique is the same the world over. This workshop aims to teach use of the suspended spindle for the creation of usable yarn from local fleece, as well as demonstrating the working of the one of the spinning wheels used in Tilting until the early 20th century.  This workshop is free with a donation.  All are welcome to come to the workshop and try their hands at spindling without any obligation to purchase the materials.  The kit, comprising a spindle and a supply of locally produced wool, costs $10.
