Handspinners meet each Thursday afternoon from 4:00 until 6:00 pm at Blue Flag Handweaving Studio, 214-B Cedar Street in Sandpoint. These sessions are free and open to anyone who spins or who would like to learn more about the craft. Also feel free to bring knitting, crochet, carding or other projects to work on.

Although formal instruction is not available at these sessions, there are always experienced spinners on hand to answer questions, demonstrate techniques and help with troubleshooting. Spinners must provide their own fiber, spinning wheels or spindles, and other tools.
