Using a drop spindle is an inexpensive and portable way to spin yarn. Attendees will receive an Ashford student spindle and all materials to spin yarn. Set up, park and draft and traditional drafting will be explored. Plan on two to three hours.

All of our introductory classes are scheduled at the convenience of the attendee and the instructor and can be weekdays or weekends. If purchased online, a member of the fiber studio will reach out to you to schedule a mutually convenient time. They are one on one or can be scheduled with a friend. We do not do group classes for new skills as individuals find success at different rates, and it’s our goal that everyone leaves our classes with a sense of accomplishment. Weather permitting we will take a break and go on a walk about the farm to say hello to the animals. Coffee, tea, water and snacks are provided. If you are taking a full day class, please plan to bring a lunch.
