Our booth at the Spin In[/caption]Every year is a little different, but there's always a marketplace and a spinning area.  We hosted a booth featuring our spinning fiber and spindles and a few other fun things like our rigid heddle looms.It's always fun to check out the other vendors and see what everyone is interested in.  There are always farms with their raw fleeces, people selling yarn, and of course lots and lots of fiber The marketplace.[/caption]The main feature of the event is the spinning area.  One section of the conference hall is reserved for the spinners to come and spin.  There are wheel spinners and spindle spinners.  They sit in large circles and smaller groupings and spend some or all of the day spinning.  It's a great way to meet new people, learn more about spinning, and reconnect with other spinning friends.  We got to see some beautiful spinning wheels Great wheel demonstration.[/caption]The great wheel is a type of early spinning wheel.  It's similar to the kind of spinning wheel you see in the Disney version of Sleeping Beauty
