I have been following Shawn O’Hagan’s blog for several months now & am always left with a feeling of amazement and a touch of envy. Looking at her photos and reading about how she spends her weekends leaves me fantasizing about moving to a beautiful, quaint place like Corner Brook, NFLD & leaving behind the hustle & bustle of Toronto living. But then reality sets in and since moving isn’t really an option, perhaps a one -hour session with Shawn is just the thing to bring us all out of the dark doldrums of November.
At the One of a Kind Christmas Show & Sale, Shawn will be leading a session where participants will learn how to use a drop spindle.
First Shawn will show students how prepare and card a fibre batt and then using a drop spindle, Shawn will teach students how to spin their own fibre. The drop-spindles are hand-made & are yours to keep, so can really perfect your technique! As another bonus Shawn will also provide the instructions on how to make one of her fabulous scarflettes. So if you have mastered knitting & want to take your crafty skills one step further, this is the class for you!
There are only a few spots left, so sign up now!
