spun

On Saturday I had the good fortune of teaching some lovely blogging friends spinning! Five spinning wheels took over Cat's cozy lounge. 

There were lots of laughs and some yummy food to share. Luckily for me, one student didn't need any teaching at all and was able to help teach too! I was able to teach her how to Navajo ply, a technique that produces a three ply yarn with a single thread - a bit too much technical  information I know! I was glad she was able to go away with a new technique learned.

The highlight for me was that by the end of the session everyone had produced some yarn and had a go at plying and were able to take something finished home. The skein below belongs to Lisa of Big Little, isn't it delicious?

Thank you so much Cat for hosting us and Lisa, Laura and Leonie you were all great students and it was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with you. There is talk of a follow up afternoon, I'm looking forward to it!
