Join us for Spinning Games Friday evening in the Marketplace, with our host Tom Knisely!

Stay tuned for more details. We will open signups on February 17, 2025. To try YOUR luck, please sign up by 6 p.m., June 13, 2025. 

These games are purely for fun – but they require spinning expertise, too!

The Spinning Games are open to all! Competitors will gather in our Marketplace to test their spinning skills by spinning blindfolded, wearing gloves, using unusual ‘fibers,’ or working in teams.  If we have a large number of sign ups, groups of competitors will be chosen via lottery and notified by June 20, 2025.

For each Silly Spinning Game, the winner(s) will be judged by spinning the longest yarn in 5 minutes:

  • With bare hands/eyes open
  • Spinning with cotton gloves
  • Spinning with rubber dishwashing gloves
  • Spinning with unusual materials
  • Criss-Cross spinning in teams (each treadling her own wheel while drafting into other orifice)
  • Spinning blindfolded
