Spinning for SpinTogether for the first time. Im starting this tussah silk braid, and a Kent romney braid too. Both spinning on drop spindles so I can take them places. Both plying on the fly, teaching myself this new skill. It's going really well, and it's neat comparing how the silk and the wool behave differently.

It’s $15 to join, and Griffin Dyeworks can cover that for you if needed, just message me. Learn more and sign up until Feb 15 at http://spintogether.org with Griffin Dyeworks Spinners!

(Ignore the preview text, the website is up to date)

Spin Together is an international celebration (with a little competition) of hand spinning! For the week of Feb 17-24, you spin whatever you want - as much as you can. Your totals are tallied with your team, and prices (electronic gift cards) are distributed to winners in a variety of categories. You can read all the deals on the Spin Together website.

If you're looking for a team, Griffin Dyeworks Spinners has space for you!

Many of us are historical re-enactors - but not all of us.

Many of us spin on hand spindles for the week - but not all of us.

Many of us are in Southern California - but not all of us!

We have a FB group and Discord, daily (non required) check ins, and welcome spinners of all skill levels. We're not in it to win it - we all set our own personal goals. My goal is usually to spin a little every day - I usually get between 40-300 yards completed. Our most prolific hand spinner gets 2000 yards! One year my goal was to spin a different type of fiber every day. It was really fun and educational putting deliberate focus on my spinning, which I usually don't do.

I hope you'll consider joining us this year! There's a $15 reg fee, which I can cover for you if needed.
