Spindle spinning, the earliest form of spinning yarn and thread, dates back thousands of years, and continues to this day. The speakers will explore ancient and historical spindle spinning by the Vikings, the Navajo people of the Southwest, plus Peru, the Mediterranean, Egypt, and Africa.

There will be many spindles and other items on display, and spindle spinning will be demonstrated on spindles of different styles. Attendees are also invited to try spindle spinning.
