Just a cotton-picking minute!

Cotton spinning workshop in November at Oil & Cotton

Sure, wool is fun to spin, but have you tried cotton? Have you tried cotton spinning while listening to me droning on about the ancient relationship between humans and this versatile plant?

I recommend it. Sign up here for a space in the November 13th workshop.

Irum, Jana and Pat appreciate the flexibility of spinning cotton on a takli, a tiny brass spindle from India.

We will explore a variety of tools and skill for making lovely cotton yarn as well as the history of cotton in the Americas and worldwide.

Jana demonstrates new-found skills spinning cotton on a Book Charka (traditional Indian spinning wheel).
