Spin a Bulky Yarn at GLASG

Spin a Bulky Yarn at GLASG

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 blendings. Then gather together as a group to talk about strategies to bulk up yarns... and start spinning!

The group was incredibly talented and their work was awesome! Thanks to all for attending. Check out the photo gallery for more pics.
