We decided to get involved in Pluckyfluff's upcoming museum show, Handspun Revolution, in Lilihammer, Norway. Lexi Boeger will be featuring an enormous skein of handspun yarn, full of yarns from all over the world!
Each of us took turns spinning yarn on our spinning wheel. We used bits and pieces of fibers leftover from other projects and added in tinsel, angelina fiber (sparkle), and yarn scraps. When we had a nice length of yarn, we wrapped the yarn on a niddy noddy, then rinsed it and set the twist.
According to the rules, we also had to write something about spinning on a piece of paper. All of the written submissions are going to fill the walls near the exhibit. Joey wrote an acrostic poem about spinning.
We love our unique yarn. Pictures of the museum exhibit in May, to come. Wish we could go to Norway in person! If you are interested in Lexi's books or camps, see her website: http://www.pluckyfluff.com/. Joey and Mommy went to the camp 4 years ago and loved it!
Your submission for the museum show is beyond gorgeous! And it is extra special how the entire family contributed.
