On Monday I went to an 'Art Yarn Workshop' at the 'Hand Weavers and Spinners Guild', with Janet Knoop. It was great fun!!
We started with preparing a fibre sandwich.... such a great way to mix it up and use up stray fibres bits.... then the spinning began!
In the afternoon we learned Beehive, spun up a little thick and thin and then attempted these. I say attempted as I need a lot more practice!
So Yesterday I practice the new skills, and mostly worked with the fibre sandwich. Then when plying I threw in a couple of funky beehives. Managed 200+ grams so I should be able to make some equally funky item!
