The Beauty of Guilds

So at the last spinning/weaving guild, this cute Louett Hatbox spinning wheel was brought in. Since my wheel has been ordered (and hopefully shipped tomorrow), I asked to borrow this one from the guild. Luckily I have lots (did I say lots-should say lots & lots) of ready to spin fiber. Since my fiber is from some local German dairy sheep, I have done all the cleaning & carding. I am so afraid of overwashing the fleece, I end up having lots of lanolin in the fleece. I just finished my first bobbin and my hands feel wonderful. Now if I could only consistently spin.
