Beginner Wool Spinning with Natalie Love

November 18, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Come learn how to spin wool yarn at the Farm! This class is meant for complete beginners and we will provide all the materials you need to get started as a beginner spinner including local wool and a thigh spindle. Natalie will teach you how to make a two-ply yarn on your thigh and how to make a single-ply yarn with a basic supported spindle. After you learn the basics of spinning, spend some time with the group and get some practice under your belt! While you spin Natalie will offer you some fun facts about Fiber culture and show you what other tools you can get to further your journey in Fiberways.

Open to ages 12 and up

Natalie Love is a lover of learning and living things! After completing an internship at Fox Haven Learning Center in 2020, she is joyfully sharing her enthusiasm by stepping into the role of supportive facilitator and teacher. In her upcoming classes, Natalie will share her love and lessons of the natural world of herbalism, plant dyeing, fiber art, toolmaking, and tea preparation.

Beginning in 2022, Fox Haven will pay $2 from every ticket sale to the Piscataway Land Trust as a LandBack tax for the land Fox Haven inhabits. Land taxes to indigenous nations function similarly to paying rent or a home mortgage. Payments such as a mortgage provide access to living space, whereas LandBack taxes recognize our access to stolen Indigenous land.

The Piscataway Land Trust is a long-term Indigenous-led effort led by the 501(c)(3) Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians Inc. to restore and rematriate ancestral land and sovereignty in the Chesapeake region to Piscataway and other Chesapeake Indigenous people.
