It has been an exciting day here! I didn’t manage to watch any of the cycling as I was out at band practice during the highlights programme, but I have done a bit of spinning, and admired a few new arrivals.

I was woken up this morning by the postman, but he did have 3 lovely parcels so that made up for it. A book on spinning merino by Margaret Stove:

My Moo mini cards:

and my fibre from Jo at Lime Green Jelly. Here is 99g of 50% merino, 30% baby alpaca, 20% silk in Poison Ivy:

and 48g of 50% faux cashmere, 50% silk in In Dreams:

I feel I am a proper member of the Lime Green Jelly Tour de Fleece team now 🙂

As promised here is the picture of my spinning from yesterday. This is black Shetland spun on Suzie. There is a little short of a 100g. I have another 200g to go.

In a fit of productivity today I finished my white Dorset fleece! Hooray! This was partially because the last couple of bags were rather felted. Still it is finished.

I am going to spin a 3rd bobbin with superwash bluefaced leicester and then ply them all together. I would really like to finish this during the tour, but we shall see how it goes.
