This week's crafty blog post is a summary of what I spun during the Tour De Fleece. I got another chance to spin up some Haunui fibre, and it was so nice to spin.

In this week's blog post I bought two more raw sheep fleeces from Random Farm and I scoured and washed them before storing them away.

@Tatjna gave me permission to include her photos of her sheep I bought fleeces from, Tilda and Biscuit, in my blog post. Such cute photos of the two of them.
