Round and Round/ Tour de Fleece 2016

Finished the fiber from Kristen’s Fiber Studio on Etsy. Rambouillet – 2 ply 7.8 oz 900 yards fingering to sport weight.

Also spun another 4 oz braid and plied it — All Spun Up on Etsy Merino/Silk/Bamboo (50/25/25) 2 ply 511 yards fingering – Olive green and golds with rust.

Just finished an OLD project — a 50/50 merino/tencel in the Gothic Barbie colorway (Moonlight Baker on etsy) Purchased the fiber in 2008. Started spinning it as a purse project on my tiny turk (bought in 2012). Had about half of it spun on the tiny turk. Finished spinning the rest on the wheel and plied it. I just finished last night so it hasn’t been washed or measured yet. It is a 2 ply cobweb lace weigt.
