Spinning Workshop with Janel Laidman

On January 31, a group of us spinners got together at Lori's house for a workshop led by Janel Laidman on how to get the most out of your handpainted rovings.  During the workshop we learned several techniques for splitting handpainted rovings prior to spinning in order to reduce the stripy look.  All of the rovings we used were handpainted by Lori, who has an amazing color sense.  We spun for about 5 hours, and in the end everyone had some very beautiful yarns to take home with them.

I have already decided that my yarns are destined to become Lynne Vogel's Starry Night Scarf.  I purchased the pattern from her Etsy shop back in December, and have been wanting to cast on since then.
