Twist & Whorl - Fiber Deep Dive

If you've always wanted to learn the magic of turning fiber into yarn, Twist & Whorl -Our Spinning Fiber Series was designed just for you.   

Over 4 sessions, you'll take a look into various types of fiber (animal, vegetable, mineral), try your hand at ALL the tools (carder, drop spindle, spinning wheel and more) and learn how to confidently buy fiber at festivals. Each week includes hands-on spinning.  

This is a beginner/intermediate series - all supplies and tools provided - but let us know if you have your own wheel, spindle and/or fiber! If you took our Fall spinning series, this is a perfect next step, but beginners are welcome too!

Tina Nagle

I am a spinner and collector of “all things fiber”. My first Spinning class late 90’s at the Hemlock fiber festival. I was a sheep farmer for 20 years. I learned to spin to make more use of the flock.

I would like to share my experiences and have my collection earn its keep. I think the best way to learn to spin is to keep trying. There are so many different ways to spin, sooner or later you’ll find a technique or equipment that you’ll enjoy. Then you can transfer that success to the wheel that you found at that yard sale etc

My parents are creative and crafty

My time is split between my work as a chiropractor, horse trainer/rider and spinning.
