Intro to Spindle Spinning with Sammy Davies

In this 90-minute introduction to spinning on a drop spindle, Sammy will cover the basics on suitable fibres for beginners, how to draft those, add twist and then ply them to make your very own yarn.

The park and draft spindle spinning method is accessible and suitable for almost all people, it's worked from a seated position and is a brilliant way to begin your new favourite hobby! Use of a drop spindle and beginner friendly fibre are included in the cost, with the option to purchase your spindle afterwards to continue at home.Sammy from Auspicious Stitch is a completely self-taught spinner who has been making waves in the spinning world with her accessible and clear approach to sharing all that she knows about the craft.

She has made it her mission to make available the information and materials that she wished were to hand at the start of her spinning journey.

If you've ever felt like learning to spin your own yarn was impossible, you'll find that Sammy puts aside the 'rules' and will explain it in a way that finally makes sense.
