SPINNING WHEEL

On October the 5th  I got a spinning wheel (which the posting 

was HERE)  Well that was a Sunday, on the Sunday night I 

sent an email of to Jaddy from the Tamar Valley Spinners group 

for some information on there group. Still knowing that my 

spinning wheel was not complete and needed stuff to get it 

working as well as some fleece to spin.  OH yes and not 

to mention that i have never used a spinning wheel before .

Jaddy rang me and we talked for a while and she had organized 

for me to get it up and working if i was able to come along to 

the Thursday spinning group . 

Well I turned up to the hall on the Thursday and  everyone was 

soo nice friendly and helpful. In no time things were added to my 

spinner and it was workable . Now was the long task for them all to 

teach me . I was determined that I was going to learn this .

4 hours had gone by and I was getting there slowly lots of broken 

thread, starting and stopping ,  i got a little bit spun (thick and thin 

all the way though but it was somthing ) by the last 15 minutes of the 

4th   hour  I was just getting it   and manged in that 15 minutes to get more 

spun than in the 3 3/4 hours before . YOU GUESSED it the day 

was over  and I packed the wheel into the car and went home to 

practise  thinking of all that i had learnt that day .

The next thursday came and i was off to spinning again .

This time I was getting better and happy with my spinning .

The first spun wool of the wheel and it was promissed to Neal 

that he would finally  get is wool hat with this.

the hat was knitted on the red loom
