Yes, spinning straw into gold is one of our most closely guarded secrets.
(One of our guild members doing a demonstration at a fair once put the flax she was supposedly spinning in her lap, concealing some sparkly gold synthetic fiber that she was actually spinning. It looked as if the dull grey fibers in her lap were magically turning into gold thread as the bobbin filled on her wheel. The children were greatly entertained...)
