It is that time of year! Time to spin along while watching the Tour de France. This year is a special year because it is the 100th edition of the Tour, and it is all in France.

The cyclists had a rather chaotic start day in Corsica, with lots of people falling off, and the end being moved and then moved back again when the Orica Greenedge bus got stuck under the banner across the finish line. Luckily I had a much better day (apart from loosing a 1 Euro coin in the flower bed – the perils of spinning photography!).

I am starting off by finishing some rainbow merino from Wingham Woolworks which I am spinning into a 3ply for socks. This is the second bobbin which I finished off today. Today’s coin is a German 1 Euro for Marcel Kittel’s win.
