Hands-on Night –The Wheels in the Guild go Round and Round: Use and Care of Equipment

Thursday, September 25 Wondering why your wheel squeaks like a mouse trapped in a disco ball? Curious about how to use wool combs without being tortured like St. Blaise? Want to run wild and drum-card creative art batts for spinning outrageous yarns? Join WSSA on September 25 as spinner and artist Aimee Kandl enlightens us on the best ways to use, maintain, and store our spinning and fiber-processing equipment.  Hands-on night starts at 7 PM and is held at the Austin Rec Center.
