Gifts from the Goddess: Learning to Spin.  In many cultures across the globe, a Goddess gave humans the knowledge of weaving and spinning. Natural fibers come from the earth and from the animals, and we connect with enduring Nature when we use them to make our clothes, bags and rugs.  We will learn to spin on a drop spindle, the simplest and most ancient method of making yarn. Spinning is meditative and fulfilling, an end to itself, but also a productive activity that fills your baskets with beautiful yarn for any of the fiber crafts. We will start with wool, but also experience spinning with silk and bamboo fibers.   See Leslie’s YouTube channel:  https://youtu.be/9Ekqh8gareA
