“Our Spinning Jenny”
If you were not at the Northland Festival and missed out on buying this delightful and informative DVD now is your chance.
You must not miss this opportunity of spending 60 minutes with Jenny Poore in her garden, seeing her washing, sorting and handling the wool before spinning. Hearing her advice on choosing a fleece suitable for your purpose, and getting the best results with your preparation, spinning and plying will help you to create something special.
Jenny shares with us many of the tips she has learnt over the years in her gentle humorous way. It is very relaxing to spin along with her as she explains the differences between woollen and worsted spinning, the long and the short draw, how to help the fibre to run smoothly from the roving and even how to make a Rastafarian wig for your needle felted pop star!
