Tutorial for Camper Naming Contest Winner
When we bought our Class C, we thought it might be fun to hold a contest on Facebook and Instagram to name it with the prize being a two-hour private lesson. We received about 100 submissions and narrowed it down to ten finalists. The winning submission was “The Twisted Traveler” by Laurette Hoagland and she requested a drum carding lesson.

Morning Workshop - Introduction to Spindle Spinning
I had so much fun in the morning bringing new spinners into the world 😉 Unfortunately, that means that I didn’t get any photos to share!
Afternoon Workshop - C&C (Crepe & Cable) Yarns
In this workshop, we learned how to make crepe and cabled yarns. These are novelty yarns that are characterized by plying plied yarns with either a single (crepe) or another plied yarn (cabled). We also played with adding beads to some of our yarns.
The photos below show some of the many combinations made by the workshop participants.
