Spinning is the process of drawing out and imparting twist to the wool fibers to create yarn. The wheel is driven by a foot pedal (called a treadle) and the wheel turns the flyer assembly via a drive band. The orifice of the flyer is where twist enters the wool fibers and the flyer holds a bobbin, where the newly spun yarn is collected (wound on).

Saturday we had an errand to run down south, so we turned it into a trip to our favorite dogpark!
Marymoor Park in Redmond, WA has an awesome off-leash area. It’s something like 40 acres and has trails, open grassy space and water features.
It was a beautiful day, and we all had a great time. (I think I like going to the park as much as the pups do!)
We walked, and met all kinds of cool dogs and their people,
Went and got some lunch, then
Yep, we came back and walked some more!
The second time, Sadie and Skye both took the plunge and did a little paddling-
Hey hey! Who’s a happy girl?
Good Dog Day.
