Learn to spin on a book charkha.

When Kate, a devoted shepherd and wool spinner, learned to spin cotton on a book charkha in 2016, she was instantly in love. This practice has added a new dimension to Kate’s textile work and greatly enriched her life.

Kate teaches in-person workshops on charkha spinning, but you can also learn from home with her newest online course: How to Spin on a Charkha with Kate Larson (Long Thread Media, 2022).
