Lavenham Guild & Wingham Wool Works


Saturday was a wonderful day of spinning and chatting.
The Lavenham Guild of Spinners Weavers and Dyers, in conjunction with
Wingham Wool Works
held a day of sampling.



Everyone took their own spinning wheel and there were free samples to try out.
I tried Yak, Camel, Soya, Mohair, Cut Linen, Silk, Recycled Sari silk, Milk fibre and several different types of sheep fleece.
I also ordered a travelling wheel as my Ashford Elizabeth is a bit too
cumbersome to put in the car.
My choice was a Kromski Sonata, the one on the right of the picture above.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and I would like to thank the Lavenham Guild and Wingham Wool Works for arranging such a fun day.
