Spindrifters


Our spinner guild meets on the 2nd Saturday of the month.












It's always interesting to see the different kinds of spinning wheels that people have.

Fancy or homemade, they all are treated with love and care.






Every time I go, I watch how each person spins - there is a different method for each person, it seems.









In October we will have our second annual "Spin In"! Our guest speaker will be Celia Quinn from Homer, Alaska. She will give a talk on spinning with spindles and a class the next day on spinning novelty yarns (yum) -

Guess who volunteered to be on the committee?

Celia used to run "Straw Into Gold" in CA. She's a neat person! I never met her in person, but used to buy from SIG when an Army housewife in Germany, then owner of Wool 'n Wood in Kansas dealing Ashford wheels. You'll like her and learn alot! :)
