Tour de Fleece Day 3

Team Phat

July 5, Day 3

Time spinning 2.5 hours

Today is my Spiniversary! I had my first lesson from Jenny Bakriges on this day 7 years ago with my husband!  Pretty sure that was the end of spinning for him - but I was another story.

So happy to be celebrating it with Team Phat! As part of my celebration I purchased some lovely cotton and some milk blend fibers from Natchwoolie! Spincerely was very helpful in hooking me up with a PhatFiber with cotton so I could spin it during the tour. I love cotton! I can’t wait to get it!

So tonight I spent 1 lovely hour spinning on my golding drop spindle 

I like to use my feet to keep the spindle going - trick I picked up from Barbara Clorite-Ventura’s dvd Spindles around the World.

Here are the results of today’s spindle spinning over yesterday’s.

Then I started my quest to find my Spincerely dyed dehaired llama fibers. It was in about the 7th box I opened - so only about 1/2 hour lost to locating and weighing it. 2 lbs of luscious fibers. 

Hmmm, I had lots of plans to blend this fiber with other things - I’m going to have to give this some thought about what I want to do with it.

I cleared my bobbins in preparation

Day 2 spinning dehaired llama

In the meantime the green was calling to me and I have plenty so I just spun for about another 1.5 hours 

Hope you all had a great day! Go Team Phat!
