live with Master Spinner Pat Maley

Interview with Pat Maley, Master Spinner. I probably should have asked more questions, but watching her spin yarn makes me go into a trance. LOL. She is a fountain of knowledge, I think she knows everything! Enjoy "The Master" at work!

That is awesome! She sounds great!
My favorite local spinner is similar in spirit- she loves the old ways but isn't "against" the new stuff. She just loves to try new things and see new techniques. I just love that.

I adore the fact that Pat isn't spinning super duper lace weight. I love that she has range.
Thanks for sharing this with me!
p.s. I also make my students spin cotton balls! How cool is that?!?!

you make them spin cotton balls? that's hilarious! honestly, i hated doing it, but found that to perfect my long draw for spinning "the good stuff" like angora and other short downy fibers.

i'm thrilled you watched and enjoyed that Holly!
