Behalve dat het erg leerzaam was, heb ik ook erg genoten van het leuke gezelschap van alle cursisten die toch maar elke keer weer vanuit alle hoeken van het land naar Swalen komen 'gekneurd'. Het was zoals gewoonlijk heel gezellig en we hebben onder het strenge toezicht van juf Cecile ;-) veel gelachen. Daar kan ik weer een paar dagen van nagenieten!!! Op naar de Merino Master Class in juli! Fijne zondag!
Yesterday, we had another spinning class by The Spinner of Yarns. Cecile taught us how to spin fine wool fibers such as Merino, Polwarth, Rambouillet, Shetland and Alpaca. A lot of people make lovely yarns, but to spin these fine fibers correctly is something completely different as Merino tends to felt easily if spun incorrectly. The yarn will felt on its own even without being washed. In the afternoon, we had to guess some Mistery fleeces which was a lot of fun and we learned what a good fleece is all about. A part from the fact that the class was very informative I enjoyed the company of my fellow students enormously. They are so determined that they drive from all over the country to Swalmen each time. We had a good time and a good laugh yesterday. I am still enjoying it today... Have a nice Sunday!
