Jacey Boggs spinning workshop
Nancy writes: The Jacey Boggs workshop on November 12th & 13th was so much fun and I think we all learned a lot from Jacey! She didn’t just teach us how to make the cool coiled and cabled yarns, she taught us a lot about spinning in general.
One of her main points was that almost everyone spins with too much tension. Loosen the tension (and by that she means just barely having any tension on it) and you will gain control over the yarn you are spinning. She gave us plenty of pointers over the two days with her.

We want to thank Diana and Janet who organized the workshop and Mary Booker for bringing in our lunch orders! And of course we want to thank Jacey for the wonderful time of learning and fun.
