Finish Line!

My tour this year is done!  I did fine by my standards!



I really had no goals, I did have 5 braids I wanted to spin up and also to ply the set of bobbins you see.  I got 3 braids done and those bobbins done too.

See my wheel o'bobbins!


Still have these to ply...ran out of time.


Off to knit on some never ending garter....I do love to knit garter...but not right now ;)

My favorite so far!

What started out as this.....


Became these (one finished pre-move, one finished a few weeks ago)



Then became this....


To this....


And is now these!!!


Don't mind me...I'm in love with them...can you tell?

Two if By Hand
Superwash Merino
La Di Da (brown/burgundy/gold) 2 oz.
Was Only Joking (Blues/reddish) 2 oz.
N-Ply 193 yds total (105 & 88 yds)
Sport/DK weight
3rd TdF finished spin
I split each braid in half lengthwise first, then split them each 4 total times (8 strips total of each colorway).  Then I spun them alternately one of LDD, then one of WOJ. 

I have to admit, I didn't want to spin it this way...was going to spin them separately and figure something out.

So....glad....I went out of my comfort zone/box and just did it.  I so love the colors!! It's also my most total yardage of n-ply :)

I spun the bobbins on my Traveller and plied them on my new Lendrum...ahh...the wheel I should have bought first. I learned on one and have always wanted one...after the last few months and my birthday...I'm a happy spinner!


Can you tell ;)

If it's July 2nd....

It must be time for the....

From July 2-24 as the bikers are Touring France, us crazy spinners are challenging ourselves in different ways by spinning.

I have some goals...about 5 braids, a few fibers I've not spun before too.  Not sure how much spinning I'll do when my son gets home, but it's worth a try ;)

Here's one team I'm on


Two if By Hand-awesome colorways...stay tuned.

I'm also with the Snobby Spinners and the Funky Junkies!

Speaking of Funky Junkies....this will be my first spin!



One of Funky Carolina's carded batt sets I got in a destash.  I plan on spinning this as a single ply yarn, so the challenge for me will be treadling slooooowwww!!
Hehe..looks like a pelt o'colors to me!!
