On Saturday, April 28 I taught "Spin a Bulky Yarn" at the Greater Los Angeles Spinning Guild (GLASG).

Chamelon Colorworks supplied the fiber and Janel Laidman, the dye mistress and owner, sent fantastic colors!

First to the drumcarder to fluff up the roving and do simple color The_students_with_their_fantastic_bblendings. Then gather together as a group to talk about strategies to bulk up yarns... and start spinning!
