Spinning in Color workshop with Patsy Zawistoski

Here are images of the control yarns & sample yarns from Patsy Zawistoski’s color spinning workshop -the one I attended at my spinning guild.
We did samples for several different kinds of yarns.

Even though I knew how to make many of the yarns Patsy’s technical advice & insight were great! She’s a wonderful teacher & knows things even experienced spinners could learn from revisiting. I really enjoyed the workshop.

Wierd wizards, witches & gnomes!

Mine is the dismayed looking, geeky gnome in grey (3rd from right in the front row).
This was a fiber felting workshop organized at my spinning guild Clotho's Children by the wonderful & patient Linda. None of us poked our fingers once! This was my very first experience with fiber felting. And I think I've been bitten by the bug!
Clothos' has been my favorite monthly haunt in Richmond for well over 1 year. I think it just might be the best spinning guild in the world...
This photograph was taken by a guild member.
