The Tour de Fleece is a yarn-sport where we honour those heroic athletes by, um, playing with yarn. For me, it means getting up at ungodly hours to watch the Tour live on TV while I spin yarn. It's a fantastic motivator and comes at the time of year when I need motivating the most.
This year, I'm sticking with the Peloton. My goal is to transform some of my fibre stash into yarn.
Today being the prologue, I basically just cleaned off my bobbins and tested my muscles.
A beautiful hand dyed Marino fibre, dyed by Ryan of Knotty by Nature. I had spun it up durring the yurt adventures earlier this year, so today I navajo plied it and now it's 100yds of lovely, soft, sock/fingerling weight yarn.
By the way: Special Tour de France discount at my etsy shop. Type TDF2012 at checkout for 15% off fibre, yarn, well, actually everything. Sorry, does not discount shipping.

Oh, what pretty yarn! I'm looking forward to seeing all the loveliness you'll spin up in the next few weeks. Happy Tour de Fleece!
