Workshop: Spinning with hand spindle and spinning wheel

From wool to nettle – rediscovering old techniques

In this workshop, we'll delve into the fascinating world of spinning. Whether wool, linen, hemp, or even nettle fibers – we'll learn about the differences between the materials and discover how they create delicate threads. In addition to fascinating insights into the history and processing of the fibers, the focus will be on practical exercises.

We'll practice spinning with a hand spindle and, depending on your preference and previous experience, try out the spinning wheel. We'll also build our own simple hand spindle, which you can, of course, take home.

No prior knowledge required – curiosity is enough!
Materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own fibers or spindles.
