It’s official, spring has sprung!  The prairie hills are full of crocus blossoms this year!  What a welcome site!

The Girl Scouts did make it to the studio for a fiber-fun day!  After an introduction to some of the many fiber-bearing animals which included many soft and wonderful samples; we spun up some fiber !

Everyone tried their hand with a potatoe spindle and  plied their spun fiber into a mini-skein to take home with them.  Next, we got our weavettes out and did a little weaving.  It was a busy couple of hours of great fun!

I’ve been working on sampling some bamboo lately!  It’s silky soft and comes in lotza cool colors.  Right now I am working with several different threadings from Marguerite Davison’s pattern book.  So far, the undulating twill (still on the loom) has my vote!  Now on to wet finishing!
