MW prepping for a walk in the excruciating cold.

LW picking wool for the drum carder.

MA is working on her spinning.

RG who sat next to me and kept me cracking up looks oh so serious here but is anything but serious.

NC working on an Inkle loom with very pretty purple Inkle bands.

FE and MW chatting while they spin.

MF is spinning mohair and it looks awesome.

KK who is one of our youngest and newest spinners.

I was always the first up in the morning so I would go around and have a good look at everyone's stuff.

Then I would watch the sun rise through the window as I spun... it was very peaceful.

We prepped skeins of wool for dyeing

 

Then we mixed dye.

We laughed a little.

And some of us laughed a lot.

Here are my dye results which was an  experiment with commercial yarn to see if I could get the colours that I want... I like this.

Here are some of my Lopi samples... I also spun flax.

When I laid it all out at home this is what I had.... I'm very happy.
