Still the Tour De Fleece

Yep, still spinning away. I did another 4 Oz's of Icelandic wool. This wool is a black and grey blend. I think it came out very pretty. I got 2 skeins of this also.


I needed something to do while enjoying the air conditioning in my craft?guest room so I knitted a dish cloth.



I also decided to wash the dirty wool I got from the guild meeting when we learned to dye. Now it has to be carded.

Wool soaking in a bucket.

At the guild meeting we learned to card weave. Bob realy got into to it and bought 2 looms to work on at home. Pictures forth coming.

Tour De Fleece

Spinning like crazy for the Tour De fleece while watching the Tour De France on TV.
Below is the Icelandic wool I bought at the Fiber festival in Wooster. I got 2 skeins from the 4 Oz's.
