Ravelry hosts it's Tour de Fleece in July every year while the Tour de France race is on. This year with COVID-19 pandemic the race start has been delayed until August 29th. We spun anyway and I believe some Ravelry Teams will be 'riding' again in August. I hope to be among them.
I am very happy with my TDF2020 results. I didn't spin a large quantity but I did spin everyday and I did manage to spin thinner, which was a goal. So with out further adieu....
The blue is 2-ply, 100% Polwarth wool. The fiber is from Briar Rose Fibers in a color she called Winter Ice. This is a lovely fiber to spin and Chris dyes them beautifully.
The brown is also a 2-ply. 70% Suri Alpaca, 20% Merino, 10% Tussah Silk from Fawks Farms Studio. Alpaca is my favorite fiber to spin and I have a big weak spot for Andrea's.
In total I spun a bit over 1,000 yards of 2-ply yarn tha I can actually knit with. Go me!
