The 40 acre property is located 30 miles north of Madison near Devil’s Lake State Park. This retreat is an opportunity to gather as a spinning community\, working at your own skill level on projects of your choice. Deb will be there to coach\, guide\, and provide encouragement. There is no agenda for this weekend…just come and enjoy doing whatever you want\, whenever you want! You may choose to work on spinning yarn for a specific project\, experimenting with new fibers\, exploring novelty yarns\, or just pulling fibers out of your stash. Bring your own fibers\, or purchase them at the retreat from Deb’s “fiber shop” that will be on-site. Bring your own wheel or rent one from the Fiber Garden for a small fee.
