Le Grand Depart 2016

Two of my wheels have been sitting empty for a while waiting for this day. Usually it's met with great excitement but truthfully this year I am a little ho hum.

I had to take a tour of the fiber stash to line up some projects but even that didn't rejuvenate my spinning mojo.

What I found was interesting enough. I've got some mystery fleece dyed with pokeberries. The hand is for color balance. My camera won't record pink or red without my hand in the shot. Crazy.

I have to admit I enjoyed tearing up those batts and turning them into nests for spinning. I always like that part of the process.

 I'm still working my way through Finley, the Shetland.

I've got a lot I should be doing with all this washed fiber but it's too buggy out. I need a screened in porch.

 The Ladybug will be spinning this superwash Merino that's been in the stash for ages.

Of course I still have the fiber from the MDSW to get through. It's been sloooow going.

Last but not least, I will be playing with this cotton I picked up at the SVFF last fall. I watched a lot of videos on spinning cotton lately so I think I'm up to it. We'll see.....
Vive le Tour!
