A bobbin full of handspun yarn. The yarn is a swampy brown/green/dark yellow mix plied with solid black.

1st finished #tourdefleece yarn: Hog Island 3-ply spun long draw with more twist (for socks!). 4 oz, 243 yards, 22% shrinkage post wash. One single was suuuuuper skinny so I chain plied the leftovers of that — no yarn left behind!

Starting a second bobbin of my Cormo fleece because this batt is lighter in color. The first bobbin and current batt are also pictured.
Still on my half-assed #tourdefleece adventures as part of #stashdashers. Switched bobbins because this batt of Cormo was significantly lighter grey. Loving spinning this!
Day 2 results from #tourdefleece:
* drum carded 1.5 pounds of deep stash commercial top to see if it makes it more palatable (not really)
* carded 100% Shetland for sampling
* carded 2 blends of Romney + Finn for sampling
* started spinning samples

A handspun single on an e-spinner bobbin, in the sunlight. The yarn is a deep warm brown, dark forest green, and muted golden color. The colorway name, peat bog, is accurate.
Ended #tourdefleece day 2 by starting my immediately beloved Peat Bog (on more BFL, dyed by Fat Cat Knits) spin. I'm about 100% certain this is what I'll work on this evening too. #stashdashers #stashdashers25
Half-assing #tourdefleece because I need to remember to be kind to my body. #spinning some hand-processed Cormo while waiting for more of it to dry in front of me. Happy to be part of the #stashdashers for the second year!
One skein down, currently soaking. 162 grams of 2-ply DK-ish BFL. #tourdefleece #stashdashers
Louet s10c spinning wheel on a deck with a bobbin half full of creamy white singles
Good morning #tourdefleece day 2!
Yesterday greeted me with a long internet outage and limited data (because everyone wanted their internet), but expect near-daily spinning content starting today!
First up on the wheel is some carded Hog Island.
