This is days 7, 8, 9 (a rest day) and 10, so only 3 days of spinning. I’m closer to having the 2nd bobbin done and then plying, but not there yet :P. I think maybe 3 more days. As long as it’s done by the end of the week I’m ok because it’s going somewhere next week. Then I will start spinning that beautiful camel and red Eri silk. I generally let the singles on the bobbin rest for 24 hrs before plying when I finish to let them settle. So for that next day after I finish the bobbin I will work on some alpaca I have on my Rick Reeves wheel, I’ll insert a picture when I spin on it. That alpaca, from a cria (baby alpaca), is like butter, it’s so soft and spins much faster than the wool I’m spinning now. Smoother fibers means more glide as you spin so it goes faster.
My new Tour de Fleece tee came in, isn’t that just too cute! She always comes up with some cute stuff! Love that this one was in color, now I can be obnoxious with “I’m a spinner” when I go shopping, lol. If anyone wants one you can get it at Fiber Love Diary‘s web site. I also bought a sticker with that same design to go on a 32 oz glass I bought from her last year, that had last years sticker on it. I think I can get two more stickers on it for the next two Tour de Fleeces, lol. For my fellow spinners, she also has spinning fiber!
Our weather is up and down temp wise and storms coming in tomorrow, typical summer weather. Grateful for air conditioning!

I wonder what my eye dr will make with it ;). She is a knitter and every year I give her a hand spun skein of yarn to thank her for her amazing care. 🙂

Just my opinion, but when you’re a “maker” and someone gives you something they made, it’s all that much more special because they know you’re giving of yourself.

You’re making great progress — just a bit more spinning before plying! That cria alpaca sounds like a dream to work with, so soft and smooth. Love the new Tour de Fleece tee and your sticker tradition — such a fun way to mark each year. Hope the storms pass quickly and you stay cozy with your spinning!

Thanks. That cria is sooo soft, having it slip through my fingers as it spins is very soothing!! So many fibers, so little time, lol. That new tee this year is fun to wear, I get to explain what Tour de Fleece is because it catches their eye. :). Spinning is a very relaxing, soothing fiber art and you have yarn when you are done!!!
