Well the tour de France and the tour de Fleece have begun.
Well the tour de Frane and the tour De Fleece have begun. I am a few days behind. Saturday I had a travel day and Sunday was the clean up day :-) We did have a great time on vacation though and I'll post about that later.
The Tour de Fleece 1 (the one linked to the black button on the right) is the spin from your stash challenge. I will start with some stash/spinning that's been waiting for waaayyyy too long. The first is a silk roving from Treetops in Chili and Pepper. It is destined to become a necktie. I hope ;-)
The Tour de Fleece 2 (the button with the gloved hand) I am challenging myself to spin everything for that on only spindles. I have one spindle full (it is a Cascade Ranier spindle) of some merino I dyed myself. I will ply that up later today and then will start on spindling another Treetops silk roving in the retro colorway. This one will be started on my apricot Bosworth mini. My son has had all-stars for baseball in the evenings so that is where I have done my spindling so far. So I am working on my challenge and in public at that!
I am enjoying this so far this year and hope to get lots more done than last year.
Mor fibery stuff in another post- I've got at least one FO to show.....
Toodles!

The blue/purple yarn you are doing on the spindle is beautiful. I'm way to use to my wheel to go back to a spindle, but that is probably because I never got the hang of drafting while it was spinning, I used the park and draft method (rather slow :P).
Spinning might b great fun.Though i don't know much about it but i admire people with creative skills.vibrant colors of fibers is always a delight to see.
