Its nearly that time of year again......... Tour de fleece 2025 !!

  Here we go again, I've lost count of how many times I've taken part in this challenge 😁 but the sun is  out so the fleece needs to be washed. 

I've no idea how much I need but to be honest I really need to carry on spinning into August to restock my yarn supplies. At the moment I'm knitting hats from scraps !

So far I have about 1200 gm prepped, mainly fleece to be spun on the Ashford E-spinner, I'm thinking of a separate project for the nano as I have had a braid of Merino/baby alpaca in my stash for some time now so it makes sense to spin it us as a laceweight for a future project for myself. I know it goes against my usual ethic of only spinning from fleece but its just been sitting around for years.

So, Romney is next up to be washed and then its a case of see what is in the bags in the shed
