Held at the Boeger Winery, Camp Pluckyfluff is a two day art spinning extravaganza taught by the Pluckyfluff maven herself, Lexi Boeger.
Let me tell you after having just finished day one of this workshop, I am completely satisfied with the experience. Well worth the money AND seven hour drive up here. Today alone we workshop attendees learned six or seven techniques!
Just look at the results of my, um, err, spinning enlightenment...
Granny Stacks fit for Halloween...
Here's a detail of the stacks...
Crazy Carded Batts spun up into glorious thick thin string-age...
Lofty translucent mohair clouds...
And tons of twists!
Here is Lexi's twisted example...
Absolutely amazing day! I feel like my training wheels have come off and I'm flying by the seat of my proverbial pants. Doesn't get much better than this, creatively speaking that is. Needless to say I can't wait to get back to my wheel tomorrow morning for day two!

Oh I am sooo envious. I want to go to camp pluckyfluff. I tried to sign up, but wouldn't you know it, you have to know how to spin. And on a wheel. Sheesh. For now I will enjoy your fluffy creations and make mine in my dreams.
I hope I can go next year, it looks wild. I am so envious.

Hey there, it's been awhile since I've been here - your handspun is fabulous and I would so love to have gone to Camp Pluckyfluff! I've read some great things on Ravelry.
So much fun....
