Spinning & Plying at Loscon 38

Here's what I spun up and chain plyed at Loscon this weekend.  It's Joan Contraman's Dolphin Tails.  I love Joan's batts.  We used to be in Designing Weavers together, before she moved to Montana.

My sprang class -- all my serious students!

Steph finished her bag in class.

Ta-da!

Rebekah all but finished her bag.  She worked on it all day.  That's dedication.  ;-]

Woody's fiber prep class:

There's Rebekah working away on her sprang.  ;->

The trick is to make the roving "unzip" from the drum just the way Woody demonstrated it.

Woody makes it look so easy.

Success!
