Hand spinning is the method of turning fibres, such as wool, cotton, and silk into yarn which can then be woven into fabric. Spinning features in many of our best-loved fairy tales where all beautiful, young princesses spent most of their time at the spinning wheel and it has a very long history in Gozo sheering sheep happens once a year followed by washing, cleaning, and teasing the sheep’s wool.   Happily, Alda demonstrates the technic of hand spinning in her workshop.
