Each video I post during TdF will hopefully cover a different aspect of my spinning process so it’s not just me rambling about the same thing over and over. :)

Team Stashdashers
For the 2nd year in a row I’m on Team Stashdashers, hosted by Melly Knits on Instagram. Melly is THE BEST, she hand processes wool fleece and cards up the most amazing batts. There are 300+ of us in the team this year and our only rule is to spin from our stash! #stashdashers
About TdF
Tour de Fleece runs alongside the Tour de France, and it’s a 3 week period where us yarny spinners have fun spinning as much as we can! It’s definitely a sport but it’s all about having fun, sharing and learning.
