We are excited to offer this fun introduction to spinning workshop for Fiber Fest! Join us for a Sunday afternoon of fiber friendship and camaraderie.

In this introductory class led by instructors from the San Diego County Spinners, you’ll learn the fundamentals of spinning yarn using a drop spindle. We’ll start by teaching you how to draft and spin singles, and then move on to plying two singles together to create a beautiful, balanced yarn. Plus, we’ll share tips on where to find spinning supplies and resources to keep you going after class. Whether you’re completely new to spinning or just looking to refresh your skills, this hands-on class will give you a solid foundation in drop spindle spinning!

No experience necessary. 13+ years welcome!


This workshop is part of Craft Collective’s 2nd annual Fiber Fest! Join in the main day of festivities on Saturday, June 14th, for a day filled with fiber fun! It’ll be a vibrant celebration of natural textiles and sustainability, bringing together fiber artists, artisans, sustainability advocates, and local farmers. On June 14th, we’ll host a live demonstration of sheep shearing, more live artist-artisan demonstrations, interactive craft for families, artist vendors, food and more. This event is designed to build community within the Southern California Fibershed, showcasing the journey of natural textiles from sheep to finished fabric.
