Spinning Yarn: Ewe Too Can Learn!

A warm, sunny day, a spinning wheel and a few handsfull of fleece - What could be more enjoyable than sitting in the sun and spinning yarn for your next garment? 

I will tell you!

The cold, dark depths of an icy and rainy night, retreat before you as you sit in front of a blazing fireplace, spinning yarn for your next garment....

The poineer craft of spinning yarn is not meant for summer only! Back in the days when spinning yarn formed part of the daily routine, there was no choice if you wanted to have the garments ready to wear in time for the next season. Today have a choice, and that choice forms the basis of our desire to emulate our pioneers. We craft as they did; knitting, crocheting, tatting, lacemaking, quilting, preserving jams and pickles, etc, but our crafting is for pleasure, not necessity.

Spinning yarn is creative, practical and most enjoyable. It is relaxing, yet stimulating; repetitive, yet hypnotic; strange yet oddly familiar. It reminds us of when times were slower and unhurried, when people had time to care for each other.

Relaxing, while spinning yarn, is effective, non-retail therapy, which keeps money in the bank. The materials are sustainable, since the animals regrow their covering and it is Earth friendly, needing no other power than legs and feet.
