Le Tour de Fleece: Day Eighteen
Written on July 21, 2009
It has been an exciting day here! I didn’t manage to watch any of the cycling as I was out at band practice during the highlights programme, but I have done a bit of spinning, and admired a few new arrivals.
I was woken up this morning by the postman, but he did have 3 lovely parcels so that made up for it. A book on spinning merino by Margaret Stove:
My Moo mini cards:
and my fibre from Jo at Lime Green Jelly. Here is 99g of 50% merino, 30% baby alpaca, 20% silk in Poison Ivy:
and 48g of 50% faux cashmere, 50% silk in In Dreams:
I feel I am a proper member of the Lime Green Jelly Tour de Fleece team now 
As promised here is the picture of my spinning from yesterday. This is black Shetland spun on Suzie. There is a little short of a 100g. I have another 200g to go.
In a fit of productivity today I finished my white Dorset fleece! Hooray! This was partially because the last couple of bags were rather felted. Still it is finished.
I am going to spin a 3rd bobbin with superwash bluefaced leicester and then ply them all together. I would really like to finish this during the tour, but we shall see how it goes.
