Yikes, looks like I’m a bit late for a TDF post ~⏰ With the Tour De Fleece ending back the end July. I think it’s finally time to share my yarns.
the summer just goes by so quickly, and this year it really is…
Main sweater spin: 791 grams of wool, I bought this Raw Rambouillet wool from Melissa Goulet at Fibres West back in March. Washed and then Hand-carded with some Muga silk from Sanjo Silk
Final spin: 5 skeins, 1089 meters of 3ply yarn
Combo spun, two beautiful squishy batts and the softest spin I’ve spun in a long time. Two batts each 100g from Melissa Goulet
Final spin: 1 skein, 306 meters of 4ply yarn
My first attempt at a combo draft with this year’s summer fibre box from Meaghan 150g split only 6 different coloured braids.
Final spin: hard to say for this one. The 3 mini skeins, 2ply, but all have different meter lengths, about 79-94 meters.
This spin will most likely be a fall cast on, or it better be after I find a pattern. 300g, 3 braids 2 of haunui and 1 of merino from Nicole Barnaby spun as is and then ply’d together 🍂✨
Final spin: 2 skeins, 480 meters of 3 ply yarn
Who even knows with this one? But I do love spinning it! It seems I lost the tag and staple length for this batt. I believe it was a down wool? Probably one of the last Melissa Goulet blossom club subscription I got before switching clubs, All I know it it’s wool blended with some % of sari silk.
Not final: 50g out of the 100g spun on old and new Woodland Woodworking spindles
It seems so silly that before the Tour started I said I would take it slow this year, and not try to out spin last year, and here I am about 1.3 kilos later….
Yes 1.3 Kilos! 11 total skeins, 2099 meters ✨ It’s soooo much wool (last years total was about 1.1 kilo)
