Hand Spinning
Hand spinning is a traditional fiber art where fibers like wool, silk, or plant materials are drawn out and twisted together using only the hands and a simple spindle or spinning tool. This process transforms raw or prepared fibers into thread or yarn, which can then be woven or knitted into fabric. Hand spinning allows for control over the thickness, texture, and ply of the yarn, resulting in unique and customizable textiles. It's a skill that blends craftsmanship with creativity, connecting the spinner to centuries of textile tradition.
