Spin and Fun Day

A few of us got together at Mara's on May 15th to work on guild projects.

We will be participating in Nancy's Fibre Mania day May 28th, so we are spinning a wonderful alpaca fleece ( from a wonderful and "late" alpaca named Desi ) for Margaret to make into a shawl that will be raffled off for charity.

We were also working on swatches for the banner that Yvonne is creating for our guild display tables.
