Well the last 3 weeks have been interesting. Participating in the Tour de Fleece in 100+ degree weather, I did manage to commit to spinning every day required (there were 2 rest days at the beginning). This was a good experience, and gave me the needed time and commitment to spend time on my wheel every day and practice, practice, practice. I finished spinning and plying one whole yearling fleece and most of the fleece from my 2 year old ram. Also did my first attempt at plying on some black fleece I had spun.
First batch of washed yarn
and the rest now drying
Now to find a project to knit or crochet with 255 yards of yarn.
Hello? Hello?
ReplyDeleteOh, THERE you are! Surely you produced more the 255 yards of yarn?
Deletei cannot imagine handling fleece / spinning in 100 degree heat!
ReplyDeleteHow about a blanket for those poor naked sheep? Just kidding, and looking good.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you have air conditioning? Or hooked up blades to your wheel so it would fan you as you spin? Lol! The yarn is beautiful! Maybe a little shawlette/scarf?
ReplyDeleteMorning, wow, looking good....maybe a shawl would be nice, :) Francine.
ReplyDeleteThat *does* seem like more than 255 yards. Are you sure you didn't count 2 yard skeins as 1 yard?
ReplyDeleteSpinning does seem like it should be more of a wintertime project! I love, love the colors! How about some bulky socks for this winter?
ReplyDeleteI love to have a framework like that because it always makes me feel so productive. Goals I set for myself are too easily set aside.
ReplyDeleteWOW! What does the fleece feel like? Would it make a blanket?
