Drop Spindle Spinning Workshop at the Rare Trades Centre

Learn to spin wool by hand with Cloverleaf Corriedale Stud owner, award-winning fleece producer, and skilled fibre woman Ronelle Welton.

In this one day workshop, you will learn how to prepare and card wool, begin drop spinning with a leader, spin singles and ply yarn.

Ronelle will teach you about the different types of drop spindles and beginner fibres.

By the end of the day, you will have produced a small skein of yarn using a Turkish style spindle, both of which you can take home with you.

Held at Ballarat’s Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events, and residencies.
