FAF: TdF Week 1

Hello Fiber Arts Friday fans

Well if you know Wonder Why Gal then you know we’re doing a Tour de Fleece event this month.  Spinning fiber every day the Tour de France is cycling.

Here’s a snippit of what I’ve been working on

I painted up some new rovings to wok with since I have LOTS of white fiber laying around.  Spinning white is fun but oh gosh can it get boring.

I tried my hand at core spun yarn which seems to have turned out nicely.  Pretty bulky too.

The purple you see on the bobbin I spun up from raw un-carded alpaca locks that were died a light purple.  Very interesting to try and spin up uncarded fiber but I love the way the yarn turned out.  Lots of fluffies, big poof, thin spots, and oh so soft.  Made for a great art yarn.

Well that’s it in a nut shell.
