Opportunity to Learn to Spin

I'm going to get a chance to learn something new!  I have a friend who has sheep and she's going to let me help her and learn with her to spin it into yarn!  

This is something that's been in the back of my mind for a while.  I went to Berea, KY a few years ago and saw a "Learn to Spin" kit.  I picked it up and looked it over, thinking..."Hmmmmmm....!"  Then I dropped it as quickly as I could... I didn't need ANYTHING else to spend my money on.  But I've continued to be intrigued by hand spinning wool into yarn.  And since I knit, how neat to learn how to "make" yarn!! 

Ahem... so... anyway... I'm not excited about this or anything.  :)

How fun is this going to be?? Wow. I knit too. I wonder what Patrick would say if I told him that I wanted to make yarn too. LOLOL.... I'm not sure what he would say. I'm happy for you. Blessings, Elizabeth

Thats great that you get to learn to spin!! I have been wanting to learn to spin. It is my dream to one day raise angora rabbits and spin their fibers. I crochet and I too think it would be great if I could make my own yarn.

Looking forward in reading about your learning experience.

how neat

I think it would be neat to learn some of those things from the olden days. Have fun!
