SPINNING





Linda, Bonnie and Karen had a wonderful time teaching children about making yarn. We gave them a brief science and history lesson. We showed them the wheel then said you will learn to use a drop spindle to make your first yarn. The girls had a wonderful time learning and now know you do not get yarn just from a Walmart Shelf but it begins with the sheep and all the processing wool goes through to make yarn. The girls got to put the yarn in a hank and can knit with their first hand spun yarn.
