ICT Workshop 3: Handmade Christmas Ornaments and Spinning Yarn! 【Title and Date】 Friday,
November 22nd 【Event Details: Fascinating Points】  warm not only having hot meals? It would be a great opportunity to
experience hand spinning with warm sheep’s yarn, and to find favorite craft/yarn
shops where you can get high quality materials (made in Japan) of crafts at
this workshop! Reiko Usuda, a hand spinning artist, will show
you how to use a spindle; drafting out
fibers, twisting the fiber into yarn, and winding up and storing the spun yarn
(including her spinning performance). The
most common and easiest fibers used for hand spinning is sheep's wool, so she will
pick up it and teach you in a easy way. Once you have mastered the spindle you
will have practiced more to make beautiful yarn! After spinning, we’ll make “Original
Christmas Ornaments” out of colorful handmade yarn you spin. May even have the
chance to get small gifts (Animal-shaped wooden distaffs)! And more, you will acquire
the deep knowledge of yarn (e.g. history, the process of making yarn, online
retailers and useful website to get crafts). It
must be worth joining and feeling warm! 【Schedule】
