Tour de Fleece day six, 2026

 A day without builders as they are waiting for the plaster to dry and we were out this afternoon at a prior engagement.  Its getting warm again so we opted to stay inside and catch up with odd jobs so I caught up on the spinning.


Second bobbin of Ryeland spun and plyed BTW these are 200gm bobbins



Second bobbin of orange world of wool fibre spun, slightly better result obtained from spinning on the e-spinner compared to the green fibre spun on the louet.



Plied  pic is a closer colour match, colour name orange marmalade.

I also managed an easy spin of 100gm texel split across two bobbins, not plied yet as I may do another couple tomorrow and mix the bobbins ie ply 1 with 3 and 2 with 4.


All in all a productive morning and evening, the builders are back tomorrow so I may get chance to spin some more and then wash week ones yarn in the evening. I'm hoping to get out and about next week  but it depends on whether the work is finished because I then have the task of trying to fit everything back in the cupboards.
