Conclusion of my Tour de Fleece 2023 journey. Over the 3 week period (mens race) I spun & plied a skein each of black welsh & white scandi. I finished the last single of my competition yarn & plied that. I completely finished all singles for 2 skeins of blue merino/alpaca. I filled my tahkli with several random sample floofs for a frankenyarn mini skein. I spun my first ever corridale (green) & almost finished spinning the 2oz. Lastly, I got started on the last single of my Valhalla yarn spin.
I know this doesn’t look like much compared to what wheel spinners can chug out during the Tour, but for a hand spindler this is a herculean amount of yarn. Plus I’ve learnt a few things from only doing spinning craft for 3 weeks; I am a much faster spinner than I think I am, my consistency has greatly improved since I started spinning at christmas, I prefer my supports weighter but my drops lighter, & I absolutely hate the feel of corridale so I’m likely to never spin it again.
