WELCOME!

Handspinning is the art of twisting fiber into a continuous thread by hand or by using a spinning wheel. The thread can be spun thick or thin, plyed or unplyed, and can later be dyed or left natural. Handspun yarn can be used for knitting, and weaving projects. You can also use unspun fiber for knitting, weaving and felting.

Here you will find all the information you need to teach yourself the art of handspinning. Our web site includes several video demonstrations to assist you in learning various techniques, along with articles of helpful information.

Like many art forms, handspinning can be done in a variety of ways, which makes it so exciting. What you learn from our site is our approach and what we've learned along the way. It is so refreshing to see handspinning beginning to break away from tradition and move into a more contemporary direction. Therefore, we will be adding more of these contemporary approaches to the site in weeks to come, with new articles, videos, and other media. So visit often!

Whether you take the traditional or contemporary approach, our goal is to share with you the joy in handspinning fiber into yarn.
