There are always some celebrations for the 18th of May here in Shetland because of the connections we have. This year was the opening of the new museum in Scalloway by Norway's Prime Minister, so there were extra events on.
Then on to spinning.......

We were not always so serious. We had great fun as well. We covered different fleece preparations with different qualities of fleece. Then spinning on different wheels to produce yarns for a variety of purposes.
We ended with a try on the great wheel which is wonderful to spin on - such a smooth and satisfying process.

All too soon the week was over and the girls went home. The house and studio was much quieter again. And I had to get back to spinning myself.
