Spinners Guild

On Saturday we had a great time hosting the Fox Valley Spinners Guild for a demonstration. 7 spinners came and showed us how they were taking raw fiber and spinning it into yarn. It was amazing to see the different types, some were using sheep wool while others displayed alpaca, yak, camel, dog and even one members daughters hair spun into thread. They each had their own unique qualities and textures. The members were a fun group, laughing, singing, talking and explaining how they became interested in this heirloom craft.
