I'm giving a spinning demo at my son's school this afternoon. The teacher initially thought I could teach 20-odd kids how to spin or knit during the course of my allotted one hour demo period! I convinced her otherwise and now I'm doing the spinning demo plus helping hte kids set up a KoolAde dye project that we'll finish together on Friday.



My house still smells like vinegar from Easter, I'll have it in my nose again for the next few days :D

How did it go, Wooly, I find working with kids really nice. They always are so eager to learn, and try what you are showing.

You're showing your age! Vinegar douche is very yesterday - they all smell like roses and daisies now, if you believe the labels.

And have you seen these things? Yes, they are indeed dissolving "strips" similar to Listerine PocketPaks. Gotta wonder about the type of man who would expect a woman to use 'em!

It went well. I talked about how everybody had to make their own clothing "in the old days" and here's how they started the process. I took some stinky unscoured ram wool, some clean wool, some ready-spin fiber, talked about the wheel and the spindle.

They were more interested in the dyeing project - each kiddo has a one-pint jar, which they had to stage up with a drink powder packet and the damp wool I provided. I filled the jars with vinegar-water and capped them, the kids spent five minutes shaking their jars to be sure the drink powder dissolved.

I'll let the jars cook in the sun tomorrow, on Friday the kids can make free-form felt with their little smelly wads of wool :D
