I met a new spinning friend this week and we had an adventure today! We took our spinning wheels and some wool and went to the PowWow at the Pioneer Settlement in Barberville. What a lovely time we had! We got to demonstrate spinning to visitors and even helped two novice spinners join the ranks of yarn makers!. It was a lovely way to get to know each other! While I didn't get any pics of us spinning, I did get some of the Native Americans, the Timucua .
I spun up another skein of Gator colored yarn-it was fun to hear comments on team, of better color choices or cheers for my selection!
I was introduced to some brown cotton, seeds, fiber and a cotton boll. I have one final hope to learn to love spinning this fiber!
One sock done and the other loaded on the needles! What a great day!
What a great adventure! Those animal skins are beautiful, what a feast of texture and color.
ReplyDeleteHappy for you to have fulfilled your longtime goal of fiber-demo-ing!
Oh I wish I could have been there!
ReplyDeleteSo that's a rain tree...my husband and I saw a bunch of them in Deland and were wondering what they are. They're so pretty.
