Today's episode quickly looks at four different ways to prepare fiber followed by a day of spinning on a great wheel (also called a walking wheel) at a local winery.
Because it's a mountain stage I made a Tour de France "King of the Mountain" themed dress with matching hat. I love polka dots!
I secure a small piece of wet corn husk to my great wheel spindle. When it dries it forms a bobbin and provides a nice way to start spinning.
I did not have a mic out at the winery, so I'm just spinning. If you have any questions about the wheel or the spinning let me know in the comments😊.
