We did woolen and worsted techniques
... spun Z and plyed S....practiced
many many joins....discussed
wheel anatomy and function, 
and choosing the right fiber
for your projects.

But mostly we just had fun.   Thanks to Janet, Melissa, Timmie and Judy for taking the class. Thanks to friends, Charlotte and Nova, for loaning their wheels for the day.
