A fun workshop to introduce you to the art of spinning your own yarn using a drop spindle, a great activity for fans of crocheting, knitting, weaving or tapestry.
What is a drop spindle?
A drop spindle is a tool for spinning fibres into lengths of yarn or threads. As the name suggests, it drops down and hangs from your fibres whilst its spinning.
This 1.5 hour workshop will show you the basics of spinning wool fibres into your own yarn, which you will then be able to take home. You will have use of a drop spindle in the workshops, and a choice of many colours of fibre to use interchangeably.
There will also be starter kits available for purchase if you would like to continue at home!
You will learn:
How to hold and use a drop spindle
How to handle wool tops
How to change colours
How to ply your yarn
A great way for any yarn enthusiast to spend a few hours discussing yarn origins and future projects whilst learning a new addicitive skill. 
Please consider the following:
This workshop requires fine motor skills in the hands and fingers of both hands, and requires full movement of both arms. You can of course take breaks when needed, but you will need to be able to work with your arms elevated for extended periods. You will be seated forward in your seat for the majority of the session, again of course you may take breaks!
I look forward to spinning with you!

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Night view

Carlton Hill is an iconic Edinburgh attraction known for its neoclassical complex, 360-degree city views and rich cultural activities. The design inspiration is based on the Parthenon in Athens. The Greek-style columns on the top of the mountain are magnificent, like the skeleton of a temple solidified by time, and they quietly guard Edinburgh. &zwnj;
