Le Tour de Fleece!


Wicked cool! I missed out on all of the Olympic knitting (I'm too slow of a knitter, didn't want to bring the team down) but spinning, now that I can do! I've been wanting to spin some yummy Alpaca/coopworth lamb blend to dye and knit a sweater for LD, and this competition makes the perfect motivator! I need to spin 1,600 yards for the sweater. The largest skein I've spun so far was just under 600 yards, so this will be a challenge. I'll be spinning the roving in its natural white color so that I can dye all the skeins at the same time.
