spin


last evening brenda and rilla and i went to hilary's for a "spinning" evening. brenda has spun before and rilla is a pro (and took her wheel with her). but i am a complete novice. i knew i just needed to "see" to know whether or not i wanted to pursue this. i do. hilary has taught spinning and had prepared her studio for demonstration. bags of different types of wool in different stages of preparation. brenda showed me how to card the fleece. hilary and rilla showed me how to use the drop spindle. now it will just take practice. oh dear - a new obsession...
