June spinnings

There were quite a few spinners at this month's meeting.

Claire and Felicity sporting their new wheels. Felicity's Majacraft Suzie has only just been delivered to her after long anticipation. Amanda (in the foreground) has an unusual wheel hand crafted by her husband, which spins from a point - the wheel itself being a substantial block of wood propelled by her foot. This is a type called a kick spindle or kick wheel.
My wheel and teacup are the only visible evidence of my presence -
and, yes...... that is a bloke in the background.

Sandy was busy preparing ply-split braiding kits ready for the group's participation in Celebrating Surrey at Loseley Park next weekend.

I shan't be participating in this event next week as I am off to .... Woolfest!
