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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
