Learn to Spin

On-going demonstrations take place on the third Sunday of each month from 11am to 4pm in the Gothic Wharf building at Arkwright's Mill, Cromford. Anyone, of any age, is welcome to come and watch the spinning and any other demonstrations and discuss them with our members. If you prefer a "hands-on experience" come and have a go at spinning with a drop spindle or, if you have your own wheel, bring it along and either spin with us or learn how to spin on it. If you do not have a wheel but would like to learn to spin, do not despair, by prior arrangement you can learn on one of our wheels.
