Fiina ja ystävä, Fiina and a friend
The Helsinki Workers' Institute spinning course I have been waiting for was held last weekend at the Helsinki Cable Factory. There were about a dozen of traditional spinning wheels, one prettier than the other. The fairest one of them all was, of course, my green spinning wheel called Fiina. I got her this summer from Southern Ostrobothnia. First we learned to check that the shape of the spinning wheels and to fix small problems. Then we learned to set the spinning wheel up for work - and to spin! Even though at first there were some mumbled swearwords to be heard, by the end of the course all one could hear was steady purr of the spinning wheels (and the squeaking of Fiina's pedal) :)
