Spin School

Went to my first spinning class yesterday down at Sheep Street down in Morgantown. Interesting to say the least: but I did managed to actually spin some yarn from raw wool! It's not very pretty, nor is it usable for anything, but hey!
I learned to use a drop spindle.

Two more classes, but I've already learned alot. My primary purpose is to learn more about the wool market, of course, but spinning itself is pretty fun. Who knows, maybe we'll try selling finished goods (yarn? batts? rovings?) as well as the raw fleece.
