  • Teaching spinning...

    I love to teach spinning.  Peggy does too.  It's a wonderfully gratifying task.  Of course, we are enablers when it comes to almost anything associated with fiber arts.  We really do want to take over the world.  It's just magical to watch someone who is all thumbs to start with, begin to understand drafting our the fiber so you get the size yarn you want and learning to add the twist and make real yarn.  For most people, there is an initial frustration with the process.  It's hard to get your hands to do all the things they need to learn to make yarn.  Like any skill, it requires practice and initially patience to build the muscle memory that ultimately lets you spin without really thinking about it.  Just like riding a bike or skating or skiing.  I've been watching the Olympics and I am amazed at what those talented athletes can do.
