Tour de Fleece 2016

7/12/2016

0 Comments

 
Every year at the time of the Tour de France, spinners around the world spin their wheels and spindles in a challenge to accomplish a goal or goals.  If you like there are teams you can join to help support you along your way and often there are prizes to go along with it.  This years' tour began on July 2 and runs until July 24th.  My goal this year is to spin 4 oz on some support spindles as I have really enjoyed the slow process of support spindle spinning in the last year or so.

The fibre I chose is Corriedale, dyed by Amy of Spunky Eclectic.  It was the club fibre for Sept 2016.  The spindles I chose for this project were merely on the fact they haven't been used too much and deserve more love.  From left to right you have; Antique hybrid, Gripping Yarns Thorn, Bristlecone Glindle, and an antique Russian.  I am spinning with my guild in Team RWSG.

This was my progress after the first night when we had a kick off at Wok Box with lots of people showing up to start spinning.

I have also been spinning for another great shop which I will post about soon.  At the end of the first week I had 5 bobbins spun.  Plying will come next so I can free up some room for more spinning. Are you spinning in the Tour this year?
