Woman Shares Lifelong Love Of Spinning Yarn
October 11, 2011
The art of spinning yarn has interested Cathy Johnson since she was young.
Now, the Century Care Center CNA has discovered that she has a talent for spinning, and she recently shared that talent with the residents at Century Care.
At age 18, Johnson worked in a cotton mill and became interested in the process. She began spinning lessons about two years ago, and she has been spinning and dying her own yarn since. She also does knitting and crocheting, selling her artwork in festivals and on display.
She explained the spinning process — which she describes as a good form of meditation — to a group of fascinated Century Care Center residents.

I would love to contact Ms. Johnson and find out where she took her lessons. I’m a self taught spinner but would love to take lessons. Is it possible to contact her? I love her finished products and that she is exposing other people to what I would consider a very therapeutic hobby.
What an interesting demonstration!
Sounds like CCC was spinning a yarn! I’m am so happy for the residence at CCC. They are such good people, I love them all!
I can’t say enough positive things about this facility. Mae Hildreth does such a fantastic job bringing in people to keep our elderly entertained and with something hands on to do.
I can’t wait to see them all for our next watercolor class!
I encourage anyone with a talent/gift to volunteer, it is so good for the soul! It has truly changed my life in such a positive way.
Wish I could have been there to see this demonstration!
