On Friday I went to the Bothwell Spin In, said hello to the lovely alpacas then made my way around the yarn and fibre stalls, then watched a hall full of spinners spin. The top photo is hand spun super fine hand knitted lace, the white piece is medium weight super soft hand spun wool and it's knitted in one piece! it's finer than it looks in the photo. I bought a niddy noddy, 2x skeins of black alpaca (from Quamby Park Alpacas), 2x skeins of brown/cream mix wool (from Waratah fibres) and a maintenance kit for my spinning wheel. I managed to get this all done in 1 1/2 hours as we had to get back to town early. It was really special to see so many spinners in one place and to see people I only have contact with on the net. Colonial Lake Books were there as well but I was to shy to say it's me Amanda from Hobart and I love your books. I love the lady with the bright red spinning wheel it was the only coloured one I spotted.

Those knitted things are so beautiful. I am glad you were able to go and report back about your trip!! I have never seen a red spinning wheel before. You did so much in 90 minutes!!
