spindle spinning yarn from wool

…was the focus of the afternoon with our last Princeton Student Colony visitor – equipped with homemade spindles from wood dowels and toy wheels, with simple hooks at the end, we passed around the raw Coopworth wool – while gathered in a circle in our outdoor domed classroom – and gradually got the hang of spinning our own yarn – with one inspired student unable t put it down – spinning into the night even after Lisa had given her post-dinner talk.
