Le Tour de Fleece 2013: Day Six

Another flattish day today for the cyclists, lovely scenery in the Camargue.

I finished off my second bobbin of multicoloured merino, and made a good start on the third.

I am still a little worried about the bright pink in this blend, although I am hoping that plying will tone it down a little. I really enjoy seeing how spinning mixes all the colours up – a bit like mixing all the paints as a small child 🙂

Today’s coin is a South African 1 Rand , to celebrate Daryl Impey being the first South African to ever wear the yellow jersey at the Tour de France!
