Tour de Fleece

Just in time to make a last minute dash for the start line I heard about the Tour de Fleece. The goal is to spin every day the Tour rides, and as I have been sadly neglecting my wheel in the last couple of months I thought this would be a good way to get me motivated.

My fibre stash
I am not setting any goals beyond spinning every day. I would like to make a significant dent in my stash, but no pressure, I just have to do some everyday.

This picture is not my whole stash as there is a quantity of fleece tucked away that I harvested from our sheep, but I want to be sure I can do it justice before I get it out.

“The concept is simple, They spin, we spin. A real spinning themed spin-along.” ~ Keep on knitting in the freeworld

I started by plying the two full bobbins of singles I had spun previously, to get the bobbins cleared ready to be filled. Wish me luck!

I love to know what you think so please rate my post or leave me a comment. If you really liked this post maybe you would consider sharing it. Thank you.

  1. Good for you! I’d join too but I seem to have gotten myself into several other labour intensive projects all involving fibre of course.
