This was held at Glachbeg Croft Centre as Strathpeffer Community Centre was unavailable, and it proved a lovely venue for an Open Day. The building is full of natural light and with the tables moved to the side there was ample room for us to sit and spin. We were very well looked after. Tea, coffee and some very nice cakes were provided for us, and additional parking had been arranged on Forestry Commission land over the road. There were 18 of us, including two new members who were just getting to grips with spinning. Michelle was spinning flax on a drop spindle, Hilma was creating rolags on a blending board, and Sheila had a whole box full of beautiful white combed fleece nests. She happened to mention that she’d washed a number of fleeces, so at the end of the afternoon several people followed her home to buy them!
