The Common Threads library has recently received two new titles for your use.
The first is Color Magic: Color Families with Deb Menz. Deb Menz has a wonderful way of explaining color that even I can understand! Let's take a look at a sample of what is to be found in this engaging DVD.
The second is The Spinner's Color Toolbox: How to Spin Colorful Textured Yarns with Judith MacKenzie.
Many thanks to Ben for a fantastic presentation on different types of Drop Spindles and how to use them.

Ben will be joining us this Sunday and I know he will have all of us dancing, um, I mean spinning right round on those drop spindles!
Please join us for social time at 1:00 and our program starting shortly after our 2:00 business meeting.
You know you want to!
Please forward any questions you may have concerning the drop spindle to commonthreadsspinningguild.com so that Ben may be prepared with an answer.
We would also ask our more experienced drop spindlers to be prepared to share their tips and tricks after Ben is finished with his end of the session. I know many of you have a great deal to share.
In addition, Liz would really love for you to complete the program sheets if you did not have a chance to do so last month.
