tdf2019_finishing_line

i finished the tour with 4 skeins 3ply and 3 singles ready to be plyed (one single is from before the tour)
I spun around 490g natural grey Corridale during this tour, that is ~ 21g per day , i came up with around 2,1 km spun singles and 600m plying.
I plyed the last singles today, so I have 5 skeins now with 520g total. (all numbers seized up and rounded off)

the day before i felt like cooling down or fading out of the tour, but on the last day of the tour i spun nearly 2 bobbins. it did not felt so much like 'one last efford' or a sprint: i celebrated the night before at the TuntenhausHoffest and the day after i couldn't do much except sleeping or sitting and spinning while watching videos.

C'est vrai qu'il s'impose au sprint à #Toulouse ! #TDF19

waaaay overdue #tourDeFleece update: on day 13 I did indeed spin some wool I carded myself (forgot to take a picture while still on the spindle, but here it is before being lightly blocked: social.gl-como.it/photos/valha…

I think that for the rest of the fleece I want to try combing it, but with this bit I also want to try some naalbinding.

Then I finished some generic black roving from the yarn shop (that I had started before #TdF19 and kept as my to-go "spin for 5 minutes" project), spun worsted, and then, instead of being able to write this post life happened again, badly, and I just didn't have the energies for it.

In the next few days I also spun another bit of generic blue roving from the yarn shop, this time woolen, and that was it for my spinning this month.

Bij De Omloop (http://www.omloopdesnor.nl) hebben we een vergelijkbaar probleem. De route staat op sommige plekken vol met lelijke uiltjes en vlinders. De organisatie is dan uren bezig om er piemels en tieten van te maken zodat het nog een beetje toonbaar is. #snorpiemel #tdf19

Yes, it is okay to just spin a short stage, but even this few gramms landed on the bobbin.
