I started a two-part spinning class at Tempe Yarn and Fiber last Thursday. I dug out my old Babe wheel and shined it up nice and tried to remember what my hands had forgotten. It was a great class with about four others, much better than the one-on-one lesson I had in Boston, although perhaps not as fabulous as spinning with Miss Hello Yarn herself.
I actually dug out some old roving that Adrian dyed and plied it with the squishy extra fine merino that I started with.

i am now ahead of the class, because I was supposed to just have an extra bobbin for plying on Thursday. That means I need to spin two bobbins by Thursday now. I have started spinning up the rest of the Hello Yarn roving.
TYF is nice, nice, nice as always, and lets you use their shop wheels once you have taken a class there, so I will perhaps finally get to spin on something made of wood. NOT that I'm hatin' on my Babe, although the treadle situation is pretty annoying. Look how pretty she looks, though.
