Yarn Fest

Morning Workshop - Introduction to Spindle Spinning

I had so much fun in the morning bringing new spinners into the world 😉 Unfortunately, that means that I didn’t get any photos to share!


Afternoon Workshop - C&C (Crepe & Cable) Yarns

In this workshop, we learned how to make crepe and cabled yarns.  These are novelty yarns that are characterized by plying plied yarns with either a single (crepe) or another plied yarn (cabled).  We also played with adding beads to some of our yarns.

The photos below show some of the many combinations made by the workshop participants.

Yarnfest 2023 - Spinning for Lace Master Class

If this isn’t the face of a very happy spinner, I don’t know what is!!
Georgia is very proud of her laceweight yarn 😁

This is one of the punis that Elaine created in the second half of the class.

And here is the single spun from that puni. Trust me, this photo does not do the yarn justice!

Madison Vines Campground

We took our maiden voyage with The Twisted Traveler to visit a dear friend in Virginia. We wanted to get a “small” trip in before heading all the way out to Colorado and it’s a good thing that we did! We discovered a small leak in the camper’s bathroom that we were able to have fixed as soon as we got home.

We have arrived safe and sound!

Of course, I had to get in at least a little spinning!!

2023-02-26 SPA - Freeport, Maine

2023-02-23 to 26

Getting caught up on some of our travels over the past few months. I'm still a work in progress when it comes to blogging!!

Spinning at my first SPA! We were supposed to go in 2020 but Herman thought that it would be a good time to have a heart attack on the day that we were supposed to leave. Oh well, better late than never, right??
