So...one day i decide I want to learn to spin wool, y'know how 'tis.
I was inspired by my lovely friend Lou.
Months later I acquired some unspun, carded wool via the lovely J from the Sallies near her place.
A couple of months further on I found The Ashford Book of Spinning at another Sallies shop.
Just this last week, on our anniversary getaway, I dragged poor J into the Sallies at our holiday spot and Eureka...the elusive spinning wheel.
Unspun fleece $9
How to Book $4
Spinning Wheel in perfect working order $50
Completely cementing my Nana status ...priceless.
