Sheep to Skein – Learn to Spin with Anne Grassham in Wai-iti Valley

Cynthia Greep from NZ Textile Experiences

Workshop: Sheep to Skein – Learn to Spin

Tutor: Anne Grassham

Level: This Workshop is for beginners and those wanting to refresh basic spinning skills.

Description: Meet the sheep. Experience the feel of “raw” wool and how to prepare it. Then create a yarn using just your fingers. Progress to spinning a single thread using a simple spindle, then ply the thread to produce a yarn with strength and balance, and wind it into a skein ready to knit or weave. When you can do this, progress to using one of several different spinning wheels and learn how to make the necessary adjustments for effortless spinning. Beware: you may just become addicted!

Anne may even treat you to an old fashioned Devonshire tea.

What to Bring: You are welcome to bring their own wheel if you have one.

Finished Product: You will go home with one or more skeins of wool you have spun.

Location: Held at Fleecewood, Anne's farmlet in Wai-iti Valley approximately 18km from Wakefield (40km to Nelson Airport).
