Darla and Mark are travelling to Kansas City to attend Ply Away this year. A week-long learning opportunity, Ply Away is put on by Ply Magazine. From their website:

It’s been a long cold 2 years without y’all! Join us for the 2022 PLY Away Spinning Retreat put on by PLY Magazine, April 19-23, 2022.

Right smack dab in the middle of the USA in Kansas City, Missouri, come join us while we learn, share, enjoy, and just sit and spin! Build your own spinning schedule from in-depth 3-day classes, immersive 2-day classes, fun 1-day classes, or dip your toe in with any of our half-day classes, but make sure to leave a bit of time to relax and spin with like-minded folks!

At PLY Away you’ll find classes based on the 2021 PLY Magazine topics: Double-coated sheep, Electric, Consistency, and Head and Hand, along with foundation, advanced, dyeing, and weaving classes with some of the best and brightest spinners at the front of the classrooms; a 35-vendor marketplace with plenty of time to shop; evening events that will relax, thrill, and fill you up; plus a whole lot of little surprises that will make this the fiber event you’ll never want to miss! Join us for 5 days, 4 days, 3 days, or just the weekend; we’ll all be happy you did!
