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.

Had only a little bit time for me today and used it to ply this little skein.

#tourDeFleece update: on day 8 I did the Gotland samples as plannedsocial.gl-como.it/photos/valha…

Then on sunday (day 9) instead of spinning I washed a bit of the “distraction” I posted earlier, on monday life happened and I had a forced day of rest; on tuesday I mostly respected the day of rest (but I started a bit on the Coburg Fox sample) and today I finished them both.

And that's it for my basic plan for #TdF19 , which has been completed way early thanks to the power of lowered expectations!

But... tomorrow it's challenge day, when I want to try and spin some wool that I've (badly) carded myself (with dog brushes), so this evening I've done that

And then I must confess I couldn't resist starting to spin a bit of it, to see how it would be

(this one is going to be spun woolen, and then one day I think I'll buy or make a pair of combs, as for most of the things I want to do with the yarn worsted would be more appropriate)

shoutout to #teamhairyelephants and all #tourdefleece #fedispinners. I'm totally admiring your fiber and spinning skills, thank you for sharing  

#4v12 Die linke Hand heilt zwar noch, aber ich bin gestern endlich bei der #TourdeFleece eingestiegen und habe erstmal mit einfacher Zwirnarbeit angefangen. Keine Ahnung, wie lange dieser selbstgefärbte Kammzug, versponnen als Lacegarn, schon diese Lieblingsspindel blockiert..

Day 3 and 4 of #TourDeFleece: yesterday I spun the Romney sample, as usual half as worsted and half as woolen.

Then I had… issues… as I discovered that the floss game flare now has a shiny new campaign and… let us just say that a) I didn't post any update and b) I'm very surprised that today I still managed to spin all of the mixed brown top I planned to spin :D

Tomorrow I have a carded band of Rhoen shep waiting for me (and/or zombies and skeletons to kill, choices, choices…)
