They are two of the most welcoming people I have ever met. Offered me coffee or a mimosa and let me look around without bothering me but were available to answer questions. I asked if they had classes in spinning. Sadly, they don't offer classes but Cassandra told me to come in the next week and she would show me the basics. I purchased some roving in anticipation of the class. I went back and decided to start with a drop spindle. There were several ladies using their spinning wheels to spin yarn. Another customer (Mary) sat with me and helped me get started. Cassandra gave me roving to practice with. The customers were helpful and encouraging to me. Kevin and Cassandra sat and chatted with me while I was learning. I had hoped to go home with a skein of yarn that I spun. That didn't happen. I have to keep at it. My goal is to get a spinning wheel. Bottom line, I love Mirage Fiber Arts!"^^ . . "1"^^ .
