Spinning Cotton

PDX Spinnerati is a spinning group that meets once a month at the downtown Portland library. At today's meeting we learned how to spin cotton using a longdraw method.

Here is Susan holding up a "poonie" and a bag of dyed supima cotton.

My "poonie"


Yay, I"m actually long draw spinning! I was having trouble with it, but eventually got the hang of it. It's a nice skill to know, but I don't think I will actually spin much cotton.
