I think spinning at trivia is going to be a thing now. I got a fair amount done and I might be able to finish this section tomorrow.

More spinning at trivia tonight. We did not win but this time felt less weird than last time.

I have a lot of plying to do but I can’t do that at work. I can spin at work so…new project. Probably a fractal spin. This is Polwarth from Hilltop Cloud.

Spun at trivia last night. A lady came over to tell me she was mesmerized and asked me what I was doing. Not sure if she understood my “I’m spinning wool into yarn” - now I’m pondering other way to say that.

I spent my final day of #TourDeFleece teaching a support spinning class. At the end of the class, they had singles that held together so that’s a win. I spent the rest of the day knitting.

My friend got me a statue called Death Spills the Tea. She gave the artist pictures of my spindles so he could add one in. I adore it.

A 3D printed statue of Death in a black cloak with a white teacup in his lap. On one side of him is a white teapot. On the other side is a tiny teacup spindle with a dark blue cop on it. In front of the statue is the real life inspiration for the spindle.

Day 19 of #TourDeFleece

This is the second half of the light blue. I am modifying the way I’m drafting because it’s making for a finer single.

I could not get more fiber on this spindle. That’s good because I am out of fiber.

Public spinning last night! The only comment I got was from a friend who thought spinning only happened on a wheel. He got a short overview of spinning. Much to his delight, I’m sure.

I’ve reached the dark brown! I still have the other half of the kit to spin so I took a picture of the gradient.

Day 16 of #TourDeFleece

I believe today is a rest day but I’ve been spinning all morning. I’m teaching a class on supported spinning this weekend and I’m trying to translate my actions into words.

#BendigoWoolAndSheepShow stole all my money.
I have spinning to do. Lots of it.

There will be a blog post with better pics and links to the stores I bought from.

This Corriedale/sari silk batt from Melly Knits has been looking at me in unspun smugness for too long. Today, that changes.

I couldn’t figure out where I wanted the yellow so it’s going right after the blue and into the green.

I’m dividing each little batt in two and will spin them on different support spindles for a two ply. A slightly darker blue is next up. This is the TdF kit by @scaethach.bsky.social
