The Paradise Spinning Guild was lucky to have Ruth, owner of The Dizzy Ewe (a fiber evangelist/enabler) come visit Paradise and hang out with us.
The first picture is from Thursday's Guild meeting - we were in fiber heaven. The next picture is a "before and after" of some woolies that Ruth and I "found" on Friday while we were out and about. We washed the wool in my basement sink and took the wool to the Woolen and Worsted class on Friday evening. On Saturday, Ruth and some brave folks invated KnitWits - and did some dyeing of woolies - the last 2 pics are of my attempt - the finished strands and then a bit of some spinning on the bobbin.
On Thursday, Ruth attended our regular Guild meeting and was on hand and available to assist as needed.
On Friday, Ruth was our instructor for "Spinning Woolen and Worsted" - we all had an opportunity to try out combs and some had time to try their hand at carders - before we realized time was running short.
On Saturday, we just beat the rain at her class "Graduated Shades from a Single Pot"
