Spinning, spinning and spinning
by on August 4, 2010

We have been working on a huge surprise for you! I have had to keep it a secret for nearly a year!

A Knit Picks drop spindle and two sizes of niddy noddies. Stunningly
beautiful roving all ready to spin with a drop spindle or a wheel.
Collections of multi-colored roving to enjoy as special treats.
Honestly! It’s been so much fun!

But, now I can introduce you to our new fiber toys as well as the first two videos from my online “Learn to Spin Yarn” video class and a Spin-Along to make it a party!! Each week in August, I will post a new video of your next spinning lesson. The first two videos to get you started are “Learn to Spin Yarn– Intro to Drop Spindling” and “Learn to Spin Yarn– Drop Spindling Terminonlogy”. All you need to get started is a drop spindle and a bit of roving.

Here is how I am going to celebrate!

from Knitty. We all love her new patterns just as much and obviously
you all do too, as she’s one of the most popular IDP designers!  So I
just had to do a little interview with her – enjoy!
