Tour De Fleece 2023 – Week 1 Wrap-up

My first week of Tour de Fleece has been very productive, although most days I have spent longer than my one hour aim. I’ve made good progress on the Hampshire Down so I think there’s a very good chance I’ll get it finished by the end of the month and have also made progress on my spindle project (I’m now onto the second 100g roving).

I’m definitely seeing the benefit of making a specific ‘to-do’ list at the start of the tour; it’s allowed me to focus my efforts and means I can clearly see my progress as my bag of fleece decreases. It’s also meant I don’t feel overwhelmed by options, so I think this is something I’ll be taking into future challenges.

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 getting on, let me know in the comments below! Until next week…

Happy Spinning!

    1. I think I’ll probably be a bit slower in the second half! I did have more free time than usual last week so I thought I’d make as much progress as I could while I had fewer commitments. I think I probably spent about 2-3 hours per day, with the exception of Monday when I spent most of the day spinning and plying so I could keep indoors out of the heat!
