Handspinning

Handspinning is the traditional process of turning raw fiber, such as wool or cotton, into yarn. It involves reaching, twisting, and drawing out fibers by hand using tools like a spindle or a wheel. As you spin, the fibers are twisted together to form a long, continuous strand of yarn that can be used for weaving or knitting. This age-old craft allows for control over the yarn’s thickness, texture, and strength, resulting in unique, handmade textile materials. Handspinning connects artisans to the material and process, producing custom, high-quality yarns rooted in craft tradition.
