Wow, you had fun! Spinning is such a cool art - is it even possible to buy made in the USA from home-kept sheep yarn anymore? I wanted real wool for an afghan my mom crocheted for me, and had to settle for wool grown and spun in Peru. It turned out lovely, but I worried about the home front.
I met a local spinner at Hancock's in Kennewick and she says right now the only place where she can find complete spinning wheels is the former Eastern Europe states. She rescued a bunch of antique working wheels from the fire. She gives spinning demos in both the local schools and at Pioneer fairs.
Posted another story chapter last night. I *think* the hard part is now done. Or almost done.
