Spinning...

Well the Tour de France, or should I say Tour de Fleece, for those of us who love to spin (with one wheel or even a spindle) finished ages ago but it meant I spent extra time at my wheel although a group of spinning friends and I get together every couple of weeks to spin.  During Tour de Fleece, we  kept up a lively WhatsApp chat with photos and opinions on how our spinning was progressing and advice flowed freely too.  I just love our small community of natural fibre lovers - spinners, weavers, knitters and crocheters.  Some of us also dye our own fleece and yarn to include in our fibre crafts or to share with others.

I am a very casual spinner who isn't particularly technically minded unlike some friends so the differences between us make any discussion or "show and tell" an interesting time.  I spin as a form of relaxation and very rarely spin for a project which sometimes confuses people who always like a goal or project before commencing.  I have a huge collection of hanks in all colours and they are waiting for their time.  So far spinning and knitting are my main things to do but weaving on my little Ashford SampleIt Loom is happening now!
