Spinning with Supported Spindles

The supported spindle has a unique beauty to it, imparted not only in the finished yarn itself but also found in the fluid, meditative movements of spinning that yarn.

In this workshop, join Debbie Held as she takes you through each step of her own supported spindling process, demystifying these spindles and demonstrating how you too can spin your most beautiful yarns yet — even when you’re on the go!

Note: this workshop was delivered as a live workshop session via Zoom. We will be filming more content to supplement Debbie’s teaching to show close-ups of the technique.
