Our Spinning Group Meeting







I belong to a group of women who try to meet monthly to spin yarn and talk about fiber and our lives. Today was our Christmas exchange and potluck. We had a wonderful meal and gave each other gifts that a person into fiber would like. I received some wonderful cotton/wool roving. Other gifts were a handspun/handknit scarf, sock yarn, felted items, wool roving, and silk hankies-(not what it sounds like, but the silk pulled right off the coccoon in the shape of a web-like handkerchief. It is to be spun into silk yarn). We always have a great time sharing the projects we have been doing. I brought my newly finished shawl that was made from my sheep Chickadee's wool. It took a long time to make. Our host, Susie, had made some cute little sheep ornaments with some of my wool.

  1. That shawl looks familiar. Glad you got it finished - and it's beautiful. Chickadee would be proud.
