The Spinning Study Group's purpose is to share the joy of handspinning. We welcome anyone from the professional spinner to those who are just beginning - all share a love of learning. Monthly meetings cover a range of topics, including different techniques of hand spinning and fiber processing, how to use handspinning tools, and other topics as determined by the group. We will conduct a breed study, spinning and plying samples of various types of wool, mohair, alpaca, llama and rabbit raised in our Blue Ridge Mountains region. Sample donations are encouraged.
Whenever possible, our members volunteer to demonstrate spinning at local events and educational outreach programs.
This is not a learn-to-spin group, but we welcome those new to spinning to come a half-hour early to get acquainted and request some help.
