Week 1 of Tour De Fleece got off to a good start, but I called day 6 a write off after losing my beloved pet and spinning companion. Although I don’t feel very creative at the moment, I’m too stubborn to give up, so am doing my best to pick up where I left off. This week has mainly been devoted to stash busting with a little fibre prep for my breed studies (full posts as usual on those in due course). Below are my daily progress photos from days 1-8 (26th June – 3rd July).
Day 1: Spinning Hill Radnor roving from my stash 
Day 2: Spindle spinning some alpaca fleece 
Day 3: Core spinning a lovely blue batt from my stash 
Day 4: Carding some Clun Forest fleece into rolags 
Day 5: Spinning some more alpaca at twilight 
Day 7: Filling up the basket with more Clun Forest rolags 
Day 8: Combating plastic waste by spinning up those pesky non-recyclable sweet wrappers – blog post with tutorial to follow after tour de fleece.
For more information about my tour de fleece challenge my introductory blog post is here. I’m also posting my progress photos daily on my instagram.
If you are also joining in with Tour de Fleece (whether part of a group or going it alone like me!) I’d love to hear how you’re get on – feel free to share your progress/goals in the comments section.
Happy Spinning!
