Greetings one and all! Thank you for joining me for some slow spinning. This is my first time participating in Tour de Fleece and I wanted to share my journey with you.
Challenge:
- Learn to spin on a dealgan spindle
- Learn to use a distaff (I'm using a niddy noddy in lieu of an actual distaff)
- Spin a fractal for the first time
- Spin semi-woollen for the first time (since beginners spinning class)
This is (some of) the second day of spinning. Prior to this project, I have only used a Turkish spindle. I'm also not trying to spin every day (clearly!), so my spinning days don't correspond with Tour de Fleece days.
Hope you have fun watching me stumble along!
