Learning how to spin art yarn and a full day of Saori weaving for 2 out of state friends at saori santa cruz studio

learning different carding methods hand cards  first 

 then drum carding

 and melanie's first skein 

 i taught melanie on the 3 d printer version of the spinolution firefly called SPINPERFECT.

IT IS AROUND $600 versus $1600 for the wooden  spinolution firefly. she bought my spinperfect.

a good entry level price however the firefly is  so much sturdier . both are designed by mike Pauly and both spin beautiful yarns.

Let le know if you are interested in one  it is the only 3d epinneer with a hook orifice and fegged flyer arms perfect for art yarn 

Here i am spinning on spinperfect wheel

 

learning how to spin art yarn  melanie did fantastic! 

 it is always fun to card your own fibers
