PLATYPUS KNITTING 

My progress on a couple of knitting projects (a sweater and a beanie), my finished Tour de Fleece spin, and a couple of sewing projects.

Handspinning of the third and final single, plus plying my first ever fractal spin. Spun on a dealgan spindle with fibre from Ixchel Bunny.

I didn't finish spinning my second ply before Tour de Fleece 2024 was over, but I'm still happy with what I have accomplished and learned.

Progress on the Dione sweater, Tour de Fleece spinning, and my experiences and acquisitions from the Australian Sheep and Wool Show 2024.

Tour de Fleece 2024 - Decided to try a "floor" distaff, aka a short broom, to see if I like it better than the belt/niddy noddy version.

Days 4 to 7 of Tour de Fleece see me get more comfortable with the dealgan and distaff. I also finish the first ply of this fractal spin!

Tour de Fleece 2024 continues. On this third day of spinning, I discovered an easier way to handle the (niddy noddy) distaff.

Day 2 of spinning for Tour de Fleece 2024. Learning to spin with a dealgan spindle, a distaff, and as a semi-woollen fractal.

Day 1 of Tour de Fleece 2024. Learning to spin with a dealgan spindle and a distaff.
