The Spinning Study Group of Long Island is a non-profit organization of women and men who share an interest in the fiber arts. Our members spin a variety of fibers including wool, mohair, alpaca, silk, cotton, ramie, angora, camel, cashmere, flax and dog hair. We knit, crochet, felt or weave our handspun. When possible, our members volunteer to demonstrate spinning at local events and education outreach.
The membership fee is a modest $25, and this includes a monthly newsletter. Available to members is the rental spinning wheels, carders, drun carders, etc., plus participation in our workshops.
Our meetings start at 7:30 pm. There is instruction available from 6:30 pm on for those who are new spinners or those who have questions. Several of our spinners come early to socialize and spin.
The meetings are held on the THIRD WEDNESDAY of each month in Smithtown, Long Island. Please email us for more information. We would enjoy meeting you. Please feel free to attend one of our meetings and introduce yourself.
