TdF: Week 2

 I'm still washing just a bit of fiber everyday but it is paying off. I have a pretty big bag of clean Polwarth to show for it.



 This  ball of singles is a big ta dah moment for me. I am out of some of the colors I need of the Cormo locks so that's it for this project.


Before I could think about plying, all those teeny tiny Cormo singles had to be wound off onto a real bobbin. It was not fun. It took forever.



 Green with Envy is almost ready for plying too. I just have one more small nest of fiber to add this morning.



 I am on the second bobbin of my Shetland rolag adventure.



I ran out of my awful ones on Wednesday so I have to make more as I go which is slowing me down.



 The Manx and flax combo is also on its second bobbin.



I grew weary of the spindles so only this one is still going. I've decided that after the Tour I am switching this fiber to a wheel because I am out of patience with this nasty stuff.



I know I will miss it when it is over but at the moment the Tour seems all uphill. I am ready for Paris.

    Oooh! It's all pretty, but I REALLY like "Green with Envy." You sure can keep a lot of projects in the works.
    Blessings,

    You are getting an amazing amount done! Good for you. I love hearing about your visits with Daddio, he seems like a very sweet man. I know they are hard on you. You are a fantastic daughter.

    Nice Shetland rolags!! I'm working on white alpaca ones at the moment and having to roll as I go too so I can relate. Love that Green with Envy too!

    The only way i managed to join you in the race is by spinning tiny bit of cotton every day, and bamboo fibers on Saturdays.
    Your rolags are so cute!
