Annual Spinning Event

SpinON 2020

SpinON is an event for spinners, based in Ontario, Canada. Spinners participate individually, and may also form teams, to spin as much yarn as they can during a 4-day marathon. The purpose of this event is to promote the craft of hand spinning, and to encourage the use of locally raised wool, and other local fibre (alpaca, mohair, angora, etc.). It is taking place online from October 29 to November 1, 2020.
