About Spinzilla

Spinzilla 2016 - "Spinzilla is a world-wide spinning event where competing teams and individuals challenge each other to see who can spin the most yarn in a week! Although the competition lasts only a week, many teams and individuals are already training, preparing their fiber and monstering up their spinning skills."

More Information

Once again, SCA spinners and friends will gather at Great Western War 2016 to participate as a team in the world-wide Spinzilla activity in October. (At-home spinners will also be contributing their efforts to Hedgehog Handworks GWW Spinners' total yardage.)

The GWW Spinzilla 2016 team is sponsored by Hedgehog Handworks, purveyors of needlecraft supplies to various historical re-enactment communities, including the SCA, since 1987.

Our Goal

From Mistress Astra: "What Matters Most"
Let me let you in on a secret. Our team is not going to win Spinzilla. We’re not going to even come close. And that’s ok. There are some teams - highly competitive - with experienced spinners who spin all day, every day. Last year’s winning team, each spinner averaged 4 miles of yarn! We are not going to beat that team.
What we are going to do is:

  • Challenge ourselves with individual goals that are realistic for us. Goals that push us a bit to improve in our craft, but not goals that set us up for failure.
  • We are going to support each other, help other team members meet their goals, and celebrate their successes.
  • We are going to share our enthusiasm for spinning with others. We are going to teach new spinners.
  • We are going to enjoy time with our friends and families. And we’re going to do other things that we love.
  • We are not going to use Spinzilla as an excuse to let things go, like doing the dishes and making the bed. Unless you want to, then that’s ok.
  • Mostly, we are going to smile, and laugh, and have a good time.
