Workshop: Mastering the Art of Spinning Singles Yarns

Unlock the creative potential of hand-spun singles yarns in our upcoming workshop at The Spinning Barn. Whether you're a seasoned spinner or a capable beginner, this workshop will guide you through the fascinating world of spinning singles—yarns that bring texture, vibrancy, and uniqueness to your projects.

Why Spin Singles? Singles yarns are celebrated for their simplicity and versatility. By spinning singles, you can create lightweight, delicate yarns perfect for lacework, or thick, robust strands ideal for chunky knits. They require less time to produce than plied yarns and offer a beautiful, rustic texture that’s perfect for a range of projects—from shawls and scarves to woven pieces and beyond.

What You’ll Learn:

• Techniques for Spinning a Range of Singles Yarns: Singles yarns do not happen by accident, they are pre-planned and require as much consideration as a plied yarn. You will learn how to spin different styles of singles to use in a wide range of creative applications.
• Finishing Techniques: Discover the best methods to set the twist and finish your singles, ensuring they are strong and ready for your next project.
• Creative Applications: Explore how to use singles in knitting, weaving, and more, maximizing the unique qualities of these beautiful yarns.
