Plying with Carolyn

Part of this week's program will be hands on, part will be demo and Q&A.

Carolyn will cover why we ply, some basic plying tips, formulas for getting the right amount of ply twist, and then of course, the two ways of Navajo plying. After a question and answer session, she is willing to have a look at skeins you have spun and give advice or answer questions you have on them.

You should bring some prepared fiber to spin, preferably something easy to spin. An ounce or two will be plenty. Empty bobbins and a lazy kate will be very helpful.

See you then!

A Little Something!

Nancy just passed this along for your enjoyment. A very interesting video clip about Harris Tweed:)

July Events...

In case you can't wait for the fall festivals, we wanted to give you a heads up for The 3rd Annual Artisan's Fair & Fiber Festival hosted by Autumn Mist Alpaca Farm. The event is Saturday, July 23rd. All the information is on the link provided.

Don't forget that the HFHF annual Sheep to Shawl event will be on Sunday, July 24th. Again, all information is available at their link. Those who are attending for demonstration purposes must inform the gate they are there to work. Let's hope your spinning wheel or drop spindle will give it away!

And a last little bit of fun to share...a few of our members wanted to let everyone know that there is an active Spinning & Fiber Arts Group that meets the 2nd Thursday of the month at 6:00 pm at the Clarence Library at 3 Town Place. All are welcome to spin, knit, needle-felt, crochet and weave while sharing fiber arts tips. Membership is free.
