Our friend Melissa from Wild Hare Fiber sent some lovely highlight photos from WWSIP day!

She notes:

I hope you had as much fun as I did! Here is a picture of me spinning with other members of the Blue Ridge Spinner’s and Weavers Guild at the Bluemont Fair in Loudon County, Virginia (I’m the one in pink on the right):

And here is what I spun that day:

left to right: (1) spun from hand-dyed wool top, to be plied into a dk weight yarn, 3 oz. of fiber (2) spun from a blended batt, worsted-weight singles, 2.7 oz. of fiber (3) spun from hand-dyed superwash wool top, bulky single, 4 oz. of fiber, and (4) handpainted superwash merino top, spun to fine singles (haven’t decided on plying). I didn’t finish the bobbin on that one before the event ended, so there’s more to come on that one. (All the fibers are ones that I dye and sell in my etsy shop.)

Our friend Janet sent some photos to us from the Dublin, Ireland event at Airfield farm.

I absolutely loved this quote from Janet’s blog:
“We could think of other spinners at their wheels all over the world.  I thought of how New Year’s Eve is celebrated with it starting on the other side of the world and gradually moving around until it completes  its 24 hour cycle somewhere west of Hawaii.    When we started our spinning, spinners in Australia had probably finished and spinners in Seattle had yet to start”

And they could look on at ponies from where they were spinning – how nice!

Sue from the Fairfield WWSIP Day event contacted me to let me know they had a nice, small turnout in Fairfield. It was a glorious day and the ladies who participated had a great time. Here are some photos Sue shared:

More to come from events all over the world! Stay tuned!
