Yarn Dealer

I just got back from the Twist Knitting & Spinning! Where I was just going to pop into, and see if they had any sales. Sam laughed in doubt when I told him that I would be only twenty minutes.

Well I would have only been twenty minutes unless the lovely yarn store owner, and yes she is truly wonderful :+), came over to help me as I inquired about the least expensive roving she has in stock.

We got to talking and she asked if I wanted to try some to spin. How could I refuse? Then she asked me what I have spun so far, cheap mystery wool, some lovely fawn colored alpaca, and a merino/silk blend that came with my wheel. She then went from roving bag to roving bag picking up various samples of wonderful wools, set me down at a wheel, and let me test spin them all! Wonders of wonders! I was in heaven.

I was able to test spin blue face Lester (BFL), corriadale, a special island sheep, merino, and a merino/bamboo. It was so educational to try all the different types of wool at the same time.
