The Handspun Skein Contest, sponsored and organized by the New Hampshire Spinners and Dyers Guild (NHSDG), celebrates the skill and craftsmanship of handspinners.
In a skein contest, participants submit a skein of handspun yarn to be evaluated on qualities such as consistency, preparation, spinning technique, and overall presentation. Entries may be judged on criteria including evenness, appropriate twist, finishing, and suitability for the intended use.
The contest provides an opportunity for spinners of all experience levels to showcase their work, receive feedback, and learn from others in the fiber community.
