Week 1 of the Tour de Fleece was a huge success in my books. I spun 3 skeins, over a thousand yards, and was feeling great! I had high hopes that I could maintain that pace throughout the 3 week Tour. But... Ah, life. Stuff happened. A baby was born, weekends were occupied with day trips to visit her, my parents were helping out and that meant that Chris and I moved over to my parents house to take care of the dogs and the cat. I was away from my wheel for too long and production slowed down. Actually, production pretty much stopped.
Week 2 got off to an ok start. I spun this gorgeous Coloured Denim roving into this beautiful skein; 100g = 350yds.
Then I started working on this braid of Jazz Hands, unfortunately I only made it half way through the singles before life got busy.
Even though the Tour is now over, I still plan on finishing up that last skein as soon as I can. I think that it just might end up being me favourite skein yet. With lots of variety in colours, it could either be really cool, or really weird, either way, I can't wait to find out!
Because of you Tanis... I will be trying a Louet S10 tonight and probably more brands sometimes in the next few weeks :o)
ReplyDeleteooh, both a gorgeous! That photo of the coloured denim roving in a fluffy pile near the spinning wheel has me drooling... it looks like the softest thing ever!
ReplyDeleteLove how that colored denim spun up! And I'm with Julie, that fluffy pile of roving almost looks good enough to eat. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely gorgeous. I wish I knew how to spin.
