When to the Tour de France takes place, spinners of the fiber kind join in with a Tour de Fleece. The idea is to set hand spinning goals to achieve while watching the cyclists get hot and sweaty. I have joined too many goals but it should be fun trying:
Goal 1:
Jacob Fleece - Washed
Process as much of the Jacob as possible. It is all washed but I have about a pound of a half that needs flicking and carding.
Goal 2:
Maryland 398
Windswept Pippit
Wash two Shetland Fleeces and comb and spin a sample of each.
Goal 3:
Spin on my Trindle every day and while at it, spin enough Fabulous Fibers Summit for making two swatches; regular 3 ply and Navajo 3 ply.

Goal 4:
Knit on Dad’s cardigan as much as possible. It would be nice to be finished when I visit in August.

So I joined four teams on Ravelry as part of the TDF as my new Avatar shows:

Nice! It’s good to see so many people doing Jacob fleeces. The more people realize how awesome it is the more it will become available.
Thanks. I am enjoying working with the fleece. It is so soft and elastic.
You’ve got a bunch of tasty fiber there. Good luck with your goals, and enjoy the Tour!

Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the net
the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think
about worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
