Oh yes, witness the birth of a new spinner!
Lily has found the spindle :)
Unravel was lovely. It was our first time and we had such a giggle meeting up with fellow dyers and customers old and new. Surrounded by serious enablers, Lily was encouraged all the way. At the first peep of interest, I was off buying spindles and thrusting wool into her eager hands.
Our lovely neighbours, the boys from Easyknits, were on hand to get her started and help wind off the first spinnings, and even kindly donated the next ‘bag o fibre’!
Unravel was also where I trialled my new yarn tree, made by my very clever Dad. It looked absolutely lovely and did the job a treat – thanks Dad!
There’s been a lot more going on around here as always, Behind the scenes there are studio and dye room moves, playing with art yarn making, oogling new spinning wheels to make such yarn and the general lift and new ideas that Springtime brings!
I’ll leave this as a short check in but promise to take the camera out with me this week to capture some of it. Till then x
Looks like you're having a great time. The yarn tree looks great!Look forward to seeeing you again at Knit Nation this year. Lily looks like she's a natural! Ros

Lily looks like she's got the hang of it! There'll be no stopping her now! Jon was the person who helped me to spin last year at KnitNation - he's great! Your stand looks lovely - can't wait to have a rummage at KnitNation!
