Spinning Yarn on a Tiny Appalachian Great Wheel: Tour de Fleece Pt.3

Join me as I take you on a journey of spinning yarn on a great wheel—though this one is tiny! Here in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, I’m sitting on my front porch, soaking in the beauty of Appalachia while engaging in the time-honored tradition of spinning. The great wheel, or walking wheel, has a rich history in fibercraft, especially in these mountains where resourcefulness and artistry have always been intertwined.

This is a perfect setting for the Tour de Fleece, an event that unites spinners around the world in a celebration of this ancient craft. Whether you're a seasoned spinner or just curious about the process, I hope you'll find inspiration and joy in this connection to our shared heritage.

Don't forget to check out my blog at www.theweftwright.com, where I update weekly with musings on fiber art, tips, and techniques. It’s a hub for all things fiber, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments.

Grab your wheel, a glass of sweet tea, and let’s spin together on this beautiful Summer day!
