Or, plying from an Andean Bracelet
I spin a lot of samples. For articles, photo shoots, to test out an idea or to find the best twist amount or wheel ratio.

Thank you to everyone who has sent in entries for Crinkle Cut (it’s not too late). I will be drawing the winner at 9:00am tomorrow, and the gallery will be up soon so you can see everyone’s work.
SSAL #3 will be a quickie as I want to squeeze it in before I go on holidays later this month, SSAL #4 is a while away but I was thinking maybe silk hankies :-D I’ll let you know in plenty of time what you’ll need.
Happy Spinning!

I am having a spinning wheel lesson tomorrow (all being well) And the friend (she’s the partner of my music teacher, I had no idea she was a spinner until recently) letting me loose on her wheel has also got a big bag of fleece for me from her Mum. I am very overexcited :o). Hopefully I’ll have time for the SSAL next time, this month rather got away from me.
