Spinning and Weaving Demonstration

I want to take a minute and announce a Spinning and Weaving Demonstration, being put on by the Susquehanna Valley Spinners and Weavers Guild, this Sunday, April 5th, from noon to 4pm. The location is in the auditorium at the PP&L Riverlands Preserve located on Route 11 in Berwick, PA, right across the street from the main entrance to the PP&L Power Plant. We will be demonstrating the entire process from raw fleece to finished garment. Carding, spinning, weaving, knitting and crocheting will all be shown with many hands on opportunities as well. If you are interested, please stop by any time during the demo, this is free to the public! Make sure you say hello.

My "borrowed" wheel and a basket of roving, all packed up and ready to go. I am so looking forward to an excuse to sit and spin all afternoon!

A closer look at all that roving....have I mentioned how hard I have been bitten by this spinning thing? This only represents a small amount of what is in my closet. Don't you just want to dive in?! The grey fiber is Romney purchased at Mad about Ewes in Lewisburg (my current spinning project). The autumn colors and the grey with pink are both mohair blends purchased from Phylleri Ball from Steam Valley Fibers. The "white" is BFL top that I received free in a lot of basket weaving supplies I purchased on E-Bay! Free is always a good thing!


On the weaving front...these are just a few of the baskets I have been feverishly working on the past few weeks. Show season is here and I am far from ready...
