Nettle spinning and weaving
July 28 - August 1
At Sätergläntan, Dalarna
Come spend a full week of nettle fiber spinning and weaving with me at beautiful Sätergläntan in Dalarna, Sweden! During this week we will be processing nettle fibers from plant to textile and in the process you will also learn how to weave on a rigid heddle and a backstrap loom. Oh and I’ll teach you how to spin on a drop spindle too! I hope this week will offer many hours of sitting in the sun processing fibers, chatting together and having a nice time. This is one of the few classes I offer to teach in both Swedish and English at the same time, so non-swedish speakers are welcome to join!
