Guild Project

I certainly hope everyone from North Country Spinners is working on this years guild project. We each received two colors of CVM fleece to spin and work up into a project by the December meeting. So far I spun the gray fleece which was quite nice. I am now working on the brown fleece which is not so nice. It has a lot of hay and neps in the roving. I have a few ideas for the end project just wondering how much time is left to work on this.

Just added some pictures of the North Country Spinners Fiber Fallout retreat that was the last weekend in September. Had a really great time despite the cloudy and sometimes rainy weather. Took two great classes. All day Saturday was lace shawl design with Sandy Terp, and the half day class was with Judith MacKenzie McCuin spinning cashmere, yak, and buffalo. Very interesting and such great fibers to work with. Judith also gave a great talk on her travels in Turkey along with some great slides.
Hopefully next week I will be able to post a few pictures of SOAR.

NCS Retreat

I have been off on vacation to St. Louis, MO for a week to see my daughter graduate from basic training for the National Guard, then put in a few days at work. North Country Spinners guild retreat called Fiber Fallout will take place this weekend at the Johnsonburg Presbytarian Camp in Hope, NJ. My car is 90 percent packed with my wheel and tools needed for retreat. I really look forward to this event and will post some pictures next week. I am seriously hoping the weather is not to bad as a Nor'easter is predicted for this weekend. Will probably spend most of the day in the beautiful lodge overlooking a pond.
