We went for the Jr. Spinning Competition and for more yarn. (yah, like we really need more yarn)
Kim is in the middle of the girls in the green shirt. There were 4 girls competing.
Setting up the roving, she hasn't started them actually spinning yet.
Spinning their hearts out.
This one on the right end was using a drop spindle and it looked like she was struggling with it. She didn't draft her fiber at all.
The basket stall!! We both came away with large baskets frome here.
Part of the general spinning circle.
The 4 girls getting their results several hours later. They all did very good!! Kim won first in her category of most consistent spinning and even had the longest with 59 yds. The girl who won the spinning wheel? The 2nd one from the left, the one who had been using the drop spindle. They all won ribbons and prizes. Kim came home with a T-shirt and two bumps of roving in green and purple.
Pretty flowers at the farm we stopped at for apples on our way home.
My basket. It's a pretty purple-pink.
Some of our stash.
Soap from Fogwash Soap Company
Lots of Duet Sock Yarn from A Swell Yarn Shop. And some from Butternut Woolens. And a pattern from Gardiner Yarn Works.
