Joanne Manginelli and I share trade secrets when it comes to fiber. She discovers something fun and shares it with everyone!
Jo writes: "I have always been drawn to the element of texture ever since I can remember. Two years ago I attended the Taos Wool Festival and spotted the wool roving with silk moil. I had to have it. I spun the wool on my Majicraft Saxony which has been a great source of enjoyment and inspiration to me . I then decided to ply it with some mohair I had in my stash so I could have a nice fluffily, fuzzy yarn. I was delighted with the result. I have enough to make a second skein which will probably be knitted into a sweater or woven into a poncho on my triangle loom. One delightful project leads to another. I've been a spinning fiend ever since I purchased that Majicraft Saxony from Rowena. I plan to spin several skeins of yarn for our upcoming show."
