Spin with Ewe - Spin Your Shawl

  • Nash Lake Fiber Farm 25545 Fairlawn Avenue Webster, MN, 55088 United States (map)

Grab your drop spindle or spinning wheel and come spend a Sunday morning spinning wool!

Spin with Ewe is held the first Sunday of each month at Nash Lake Fiber Farm from 9:30-12, hosted by Theresa (Get Bentz Farm) and Amy (Nash Lake Fiber Farm). At each event, they’ll provide fiber for spinners to play with and a specific theme of focus, as well as education regarding the theme and technique tips for spinning and finished garments. Materials are sourced locally as much as possible, knowing sometimes we can't get it here. Information and fun stories about the adventures we had finding the fiber are also provided.

The theme of July’s Spin with Ewe is Spin Your Shawl! We will discuss colonial women spinning for liberty after the British government passed taxation on colonists for imported goods back in 1767. In this class, we will spin a variety of fibers that would make a great shawl.
