Tour de Fleece


2009 Tour de Fleece Output
Originally uploaded by Altivo
Photo of my results from the Tour de Fleece. Inspired, one suspects, by the use of the term "spinning" for bicycle racing, the goal is to spin every day that the Tour de France rides. These four yarns were the result.

The white merino and the multicolored merino-bamboo blend will be in this year's show as yarn. The plan is to weave them into a soft shawl or scarf for the 2010 show. The dark tweed woolen singles will, hopefully, be turned into a scarf using Scandinavian nålbinding techniques in time for this year's show.
