Prehistoric crafting happened by streelight at Sewing Snack-n-Chat last night. >
Expert Kellie H (hands on left) showed Esther how to twist wool into yarn on a spindle.
Watching, I was surprised how "easy" it is;
not easy to get it right, of course, to spin uniform yarn of the thickness you want,
but yarn making falls in there with bread- and baby-making...
Homey things that people (women, especially) have been doing forever.
You can do them well, or you can do them poorly, but you can probably do them.
