Great Lakes Fiber Show

Report and Photos from today's Great Lakes Fiber Show at the Wayne County Fairgrounds in

Wooster, Ohio

I tried SPINDLE SPINNING and received a complimentary free spindle and fiber.

Of course each time I tried to spin it, the fibers ripped apart and the spindle went flying to the floor!! Now I know why it's called a "DROP SPINDLE" !!

I also got to hand-dye a skein of wool to take home.....

I tried out a Louet Spinning wheel......

There was a SKEIN COMPETITION......

adorable ALPACAS for show and sale.....
