Discover the ancient craft of drop spindle spinning, one of the oldest tools known to humanity. Through the use of a drop spindle, you'll unlock the skills of twisting and plying fibres, strengthening them and expanding their potential uses.

Join us for an enriching experience in the world of traditional craftsmanship!
