Spindle Clinic - NHA Gathering

  • Westfield State University 577 Western Avenue Westfield, MA, 01085 United States (map)

Workshop Description: Most spinners, both new and experienced, have a spindle in their stash that gives them trouble. Or perhaps it is a particular fiber/spindle combination. Do you have a spindle that has been sitting idle because the two of you just don’t seem to get along? Bring your spindles, the ones that you love and the ones that you hate, and whether you’ve lost the magic or never actually found it in the first place; our goal is to bring the Spindle Magic into your spinning!! Included in the workshop will be discussions and demonstrations of various types of spindles, drafting and plying methods and spindle care. The Spindle Clinic is sure to have something for everyone!

Spinning Level Required: All Levels

Student Should Bring: Note taking supplies and a spindle, preferably one that you would like to learn more about.

Instructor Will Provide: Instructor will have a few pieces of equipment (i.e., niddy noddies, nostepinnes) for participants to use during the workshop. In addition, the instructor will have and discuss examples of a variety of different spindles.
