Hello friends! Tour de Fleece has officially begun! And what a start I had. I might have to change my spinning plans all together. Me and my spinningwheel, my Louët S71, have been zooming through that Suffolk fleece that I prepped with my drumcarder. The long draw spinning I'm still practicing is spinning up like a charm. I'm certainly riding in yellow. But this means that I might have to change plans and start prepping some more wool. Maybe some more Blue Texel action in the future of this challenge? And as you will see we have two very chunky skeins of yarn already by day two of this year's Tour de Fleece. What a race!

Hi Jente, I hope you're OK xx ❣️❣️❣️❣️ Thankyou so much for sharing this video podcast. Spinning Long Draw, dies mean that fibre spins up rather quickly, yet it's my default way of Spinning. Your Handspun Yarns look amazing and beautiful . I spun the 1st & 2nd day up on the 1st day. Then had to make more stuff to spin on the 2nd day. Plied them yesterday ( Tuesday) Now spun today and tomorrow today, might leave the plying till tomorrow unless I get bored.🤣. Love your Rendition of 500 miles. I think you and I are very likely to run out of Prepped fibres to spin at the rate we're going 🤣🤣 Hope you have a Wonderful TDF 🚲🎡🐑🥰 Happy Spinning Fibre Friend 🎡🐑🥰 Take care and stay safe Lots of love and Fleecey Hugs Jen xxxx ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🐑🐑 I hope your ankle is getting better 😊😊

I just finished catching up and watching your Suffolk prep video, and then saw this pop up in my sub box right after! Perfect timing Watched together with my partner, who is another Unhinged Flemish Fiber Goblin and has never watched your videos before. They clocked where you're from just based on the little segment where others could be heard speaking in the background (cue me losing my mind. Flemish accents are just on another level) I don't spin myself but I'm really enjoying watching the Big Floofy Fleece turn to Big Puffy Skeins. My gremlin hands long to touch (Next year my darling and I are joining in on the fun too, hopefully! They spinning, me as emotional support, and maybe hand-dyeing yarn together to prep)

I started trying long draw at the beginning of TdF, and oh my goodness it IS faster! My hands were hurting (getting old stinks) with my short forward draw, so I started playing with my method to see what hurt less, and slowly migrated from short forward, to becoming ambidextrous, to short backwards, to long backwards draw. It's helped with the pain and I thought I was crazy that it seemed faster! Glad to see that I'm not crazy!! Or I'm at least in good company...

You’ve taken quite the start! So much gorgeous floofy yarn! 😍 You asked about TDF goals. Well, mine are simply to spin every day. Fun side challenge: finding out for how many hours I’ve spin over the course of the entire event, and how many metres that amounts to. Not much more. It’s my first Tour so I thought that’s enough of a goal.

So 40-ish minutes of spinning for the day. Just setting up for this evening’s spin. I’ll see how long that goes. I’m really looking forward to this week-end when I’ll be able to do more.

I started spinning last month and only heard about TdF today, so only a couple of days late! I've got some beautiful Corriedale wool tops in pink, purple and blue that I've been playing around with, and I'm aiming to get all 600 grams spun and plied, but with no real plans on what finished products I get. The goal is to learn as much as possible, and not to be too precious about the results :)

TBH I think a short staple is easier to woolen spin. I'm doing a semi-woolen spin right now with something that's like 5 in/12.5 cm and it's much slower than I'm used to. I just can't draft as quickly because the staple length can't outpace the twist. You left your lazy kate screwed in after plying the first skein, and I can visually see that it's fine, but after last year I got nervous. 😅 I'm glad it's not trying to kill your bobbins this time.

Damn girl, you are really going for it - but your chonks are gorjuss !! AND I think I have been subscribed for a year now - I recall thinking 'what is this Tour de Fleece" stuff and then remember watching a video where you get a whole fleece from a farmer and you make him a beanie out of some of the spun wool ... hooked ever since (ha ha 'hooked' - coz I watch your videos while I crochet 😁). Happy spinning dearest Gobliness.

When counting Tour de Fleece lengths spun, do you count the length of single spun, or singles plus plied result, or just the plied result? EDIT: I'm sure there was more comment originally - but some of it seems to have got lost. Your finished skeins are absolutely beautiful. I'd be thinking along the lines of an Arran knit jumper. No-o-o-o-o-o! Not the niddy-noddy. I like your niddy-noddy. Long live the chaos goblin's home-made niddy-noddy. It works and it's perfect for you.
