Welcome to the Guild of Long Draw Spinners for busy people who want to spin beautiful yarn.

Our purpose is to encourage and support the skill of long draw spinning and associated activities. No previous experience necessary - but enthusiasm is essential!

Long draw hand spinning makes arms lengths of thread at a time rather than a few inches. It is not new, long draw spinning was practised in medieval times -our logo is based on a 14th Century image in the British Library. It is a satisfying skill which produces yarn quickly which means you will complete projects long before you run out of steam and you will probably feel more creative too.
