Learn to spin using the simple and portable hand spindle – sometimes called a drop spindle. Some variation of this method has been used from prehistoric times on every continent except Antarctica. Once you have learned on the hand spindle, it is much easier to spin on the wheel.
Rebecca will teach you either method, spindle or wheel. $25/person, $30/pair, spindle kit $30, wool included.
Check the weather, then choose an evening to watch dusk fall over the farm, close the birds, and light the fire. We may do some stargazing and tell stories. If you wish, you may bring something to roast. 6:30-9:30, $5/person, $10/family, veterans free.
