About this Event
Spinning Yarn has come a long way since it's historical roots. Even with it's more modern developments, the process and craft of spinning itself hasn't really changed throughout it's time. For thousands of years, fibre was spun by hand using simple tools, from stones and sticks to spinning wheels.
Before woven cloth, there was spun thread. Making spinning almost as old as civilization itself.
The Drop spindle has been used to spin fibre throughout the ages from Egyptian mummy wrappings to tapestries, and even the ropes and sails for ships, for almost 9000 years.
During this session, you will learn a bit about the history of the drop spindle and have the opportunity to try your hand at spinning fibre with our purpose build drop spindles courtesy of the Cardinia Men's Shed.
