Tour de femme 2024 day 4

 Day four of the tour de France femme has been a good spinning day for me. I had a bit more time to do some spinning today, and half of that time seems to have been spent preparing the fleece.

I must admit that I love having these mini goals to give me the insentive to get crafting done. There are always long term projects that seem to sit to the side and not get worked on for one reason or another. The tour de fleece is always a good way for me to work through all that brown fleece I seem to have stashed away over the years.

 Day 3 of the tour de France femme race is on. I managed to get some plying done today, but this brown fleece seems to keep giving. In previous years I have used the tour de fleece as a way to work my way through the brown stash. Brown is not my favourite colour and I had thought I was near the end of all my brown fleeced but no, there is more.

Tour de femme 2024

 It is tour de femme time again. From the 12th to 18th of August the femme will be cycling their way way around Europe. While they spin their wheels a number of dedicated yarn spinners will spin their (spinning) wheels. 

I was unable to spin this year during the men's race as I was busy finishing my quilt so I am really excited to get some spinning done.

Here is my first days spinning. I hope to get this brown finished. Below  you can see the bag of brown I hope to work my way through. Wish me luck.
