I went to an all day Saturday spinning class. It was from 9:30 am to 6:30 or so. It was called power plying. If you are not sure what plying is it is what you do to several strands of yarn after you have spun it.
It can be 2 or 3 or lots more of strands spun together. Usually you spin the single strands one direction and when you ply them you go the other direction to make them all stay together. Our teacher came from New Mexico to teach our class in Beaver Creek.

HAII - The Hat That Killed Me
HAII - The Hat That Killed Me
Originally uploaded by whirledpeas00
This is the hat that came in the mail and killed me in Hat Attack II.
The picture is poor quality. I will try to take another photo this weekend and replace this one.
The person also sent me a ball band dishcloth and a little fabric bag.

This is the hat I was working on when I was killed. I snapped this poor quality shot at night. I had to send it out unfinished to the peson who killed me. They are suppose to get the hat and finish it for me and try to kill the next person by sending it to them before they finish their hat.

This is the fiber I came home with. There is not many places you can purchase fiber around here. So I had saved up with the intention of getting quite a bit of fiber until the next years fiber festival.

I had seen these wheels for sale on line. They seem so odd I had to try it out to see how it spun. It was not something I was interested in spinning with. I love my lady bug more than spinning on this particular wheel.
