By Benjamin KrudwigFor our fiber collaboration this month, I had the pleasure of working with Into the Whirled. This month, I wanted to try my hand at spinning beaded yarn. There are a few ways to spin beads into yarn, but I think I might have chosen the most involved (but most secure) method.The inspiration for my skein came from the name of the colorway; "Cripple Creek." As many Coloradans know, Cripple Creek was a hotspot during the gold rush of 1890 founded by Bobby Womack. When I was a child, my grandfather and my uncle wrote a musical called "Bobby Womack and the City of Gold" so the link between Cripple Creek and gold has stuck with me ever since. I chose gold beads for this reason.
