Spinning & Fibre Workshops
Discover the relaxing, meditative craft of fiber preparation and yarn spinning at Woolway Studios. Before a carpet is woven or a textile is dyed, raw wool must undergo a delicate transformation. Our Spinning & Fibre Workshops invite you to connect with this tactile art form, tracing the journey from raw sheep's fleece to hand-spun yarn.
What You Will Experience:
- Fibre Preparation & Carding: Learn how raw wool is washed, sorted, and combed using traditional hand carders and combs to prepare smooth, spun-ready rovings.
- Mastering the Spindle & Wheel: Practice traditional spinning techniques using both ancient drop spindles and traditional wooden spinning wheels under expert guidance.
- Understanding Fibre Qualities: Explore the unique characteristics of natural Armenian wool, learning how twist, ply, and tension affect yarn strength, texture, and durability.
- Create Your Custom Yarn: Spin your very own textured or balanced skein of hand-spun yarn to take home for future knitting, weaving, or crafting projects.
Step away from the fast-paced modern world and experience the therapeutic rhythm of hand-spinning in a warm, creative environment.
