This morning I was invited to demonstrate spinning to a group of knitters. I took along my Lendrum wheel and a big, beautiful bag of Blazing Ben alpaca fiber. I also brought a few skeins of alpaca that I spun and some naturally dyed wool. I demonstrated the mechanics of spinning and then each knitter took her turn at the wheel. The girls did a great job and I definitely saw some budding spinners!
Looks like a group of young knitters. Good for you! It's great to inspire more people to spin and to think about the animal the fiber came from.
