Highway 87 to Route 264 --Hope Cultural Center
The Center is located on Second Mesa. It consists of a Restraurant, Inn, Museum, and an Art Gallery.
The Hopi Reservation encompasses approximately 1.5 million acres. The rock formations are breath taking!
We arrived at the Center early in the morning. The ladies at the front desk were very helpful and arranged for an early check-in despite the normal 3 PM rule. We were able to set up our Spinning Corner and soon it was time to begin our spinning adventure.
Ramona brought a bag of Tunis Fleece, we opened it, sorted a pile to soak in the Wool Wash, and immediatly began our Drop Spindle Class.
So, it wasn't long before we began spinning with the Spinning Wheels. The day went fast for all of us and a date was made to meet in Keems Canyon at the home of Ramona for our second day of spinning.
Here is Jeanne instructing Drop Spindle spinning. Both Jeanne and I were excited that this method came easy to them.
Two new Spinners -- ready to share their newly aquired skills with their community!
