I spin with a group of energized and energetic Spinners. The workshop instructor, Meagan Condon, is knowledgeable, patient, and very kind. I am glad I chose her class, "A Spinner's Exploration of Color and Texture".

I spin on a surprisingly comfortable and ergonomic couch. The chairs in the room did not fit me well so I lucked out with the couch.
I spin this beautiful braid of Targhee wool called Wooden Duck. Coincidence? I think not.
I spin a fiber color wheel and learned about optical blending.
I spin the Wooden Duck braid a few different ways. I am particularly excited about the third sample (#5 on the tag). It is a combo spin - a single of my fiber plus a single of Autumn's fiber plied together. Wow, so much more interest and depth.
I spin textured yarns.
Crepe yarn
A not-quite-Cable yarn (not enough ply twist)
A Cable yarn
A not-quite-Boucle yarn
Boucle yarn
I spin and unspin thereby learning how to deconstruct a yarn and decipher it's structure.

I spin and learn and spin and learn and now I want to spin even more.
Thank you Meagan Condon of Luthvarian Fiber Arts for a wonderful workshop.
