Welcome to the Northeast Handspinners Association

Join the Northeast Handspinners Association (NHA) in support of the promotion and education of the art and craft of handspinning.

The Northeast Handspinners Association (NHA) is a pan-New England organization (serving New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine) for the promotion and education of the art and craft of handspinning.

NHA provides a communications network for individuals and groups, and gives handspinners the opportunity to share, learn, educate, compete, and cooperate on a regional basis.

NHA sponsors and supports events to bring spinners from the northeastern states together, including workshops, open houses, skein contests, grants to guilds and fairs, and scholarships.

Our quarterly newsletter, Spindles & Rovings, is our member's source of information on upcoming events, spinning tips, articles and reports on what the NHA, guilds and groups are doing throughout the northeast.

The Gathering; a biennial weekend spinning retreat that features the best in spinning classes with respected teachers from all over the US and Canada is held in even years.

The Open House; a biennial one-day spinning Open House is held in odd years. Venues for both events move around the Northeast.

The history of the NHA dates back to 1987.

Get ready for the 2007 Open House!
