Tour de Fleece: Week 1
Normally I'm not one to join groups, KALs, SALs, etc., but when Kristin of All Spun Up formed an ASU group for the Tour de Fleece (on Ravelry), I was helpless to resist.
We were supposed to set goals, so I set a characteristically nonspecific one: spin down the stash as much as I can. The T4S stash might be visible from space at this point, so I probably won't be able to make much of a dent. (Please don't tell me I should spin thicker. I just can't...for several reasons.) In any case, I have made some progress.
3 ply
850 yards (only 400 yards was done during TdF)
234 grams
3 ply
424 yards
114 grams
chain ply (Navajo ply)
434 yards
119 grams
One week: 1248 yards of 3 ply fingering weight yarn. Maybe I should have set a yardage goal.

Looks good! Especially like Orchard!
I love them all.... you should turn your photos into postacard sthey're always to beautiful to gaze upon as is the yarn....
Gorgeous stuff - you are my hero. :-)
If you count your singles, it's even more impressive -- that's about 3800 yards!
Lovely stuff as always. My goals were just to spin for 30 minutes a day and to make my first 3-ply. So far so good; I even got to try Navajo ply with my extra singles. :)
Gorgeous colors especially Orchard. You are doing such a fantastic spinning job. I think 3ply is great as it's more versatile for knitting - socks, garments, shawls, etc.
I saw these on Ravelry while I was on vacation. They are perfectly spun! Great colors.
Gorgeous spinning! I, too, noticed them on Rav in a recently shared stash photo and just HAD to visit. Perfect twist, grist, and plying. I am chartreuse with envy.
