Last night I did my first little bit of tdf spinning! Last year I cleaned and carded up 3 pounds of Cheviot fleece, and this month I'm going to spin as much of it as I can.

Most will be Z twist (clockwise spin) but some will be S twist (counter clockwise). For a while I have been planning a large weaving sampler to test several variables in a woven cloth. These will all be woven as singles.

(In between preparing for my in-person market July 11th, finishing my jacket for a concert July 19th, and preparing to staff a convention July 31st 😭)

TdF day 1 progress! Pretty happy with the amount of spinning I got done yesterday considering the migraine. One big sky split into three little skies. Spun up to where we start to get some orange in the first single 🌄

TdF day 7!

The messy rolags have been plied! Couldn’t get it all on one bobbin. I still haven’t weighed it to see how much it is. But I’ve got about roughly 300m across both skeins, and wildly varied yarn weights throughout. This will probably be a weaving yarn.

My version of the Loupy Cardi, i promise i’m really chill about it (i’m really not i cant stop talking about it). I was so hyperfixated on it that i knitted it in exactly 9 days……. my wrists hurt….

I have solved my TDF plans! (well like, 95% solved)

For the Whimsy braid + Magic Buffalo batt (both from Fossil Fibers)

1/4 of the braid is getting set aside for tiny spinning. 1/4 is gonna be for some color experimenting (spinning 1 ply along the full colorway and the other from the center out and mirrored) and then the last 2 oz will go with the 2oz of the Magic Buffalo batt to make sort of a faux fractal

The other half of my plans are to get my butt back in gear with this breed study. So two days a week will be set aside for breed study spinning, two days for my Whimsy Buffalo project, 1 day for visiting my shop wheel, and two days for rest

First time doing a thing with rolags that's bigger than 1-2 of them! At 67g this is still small but way bigger than all but one project I have spun so far, and that one was a commercial braid, so this very much feels special

Distributed them into two gradients for the two plies. From experience I know i can cram about 25g of fiber on one spindle so i'll play it safe and split this entire load into four (two rolags/three rolags for both plies)

And when I said I got a little bit of a head start I meant I started sewing this morning and I've already got half of the bodice put together :)

Finally off of work, and I can get to spinning!

Starting with more white Jacob to see how much I can fit on my bobbins before I need to spin the other fiber. I'm going to ply these two together (not pictured: just how much of each I have):

And so far, I'm starting with this already done:

I can spin one more bobbin of Jacob before I have to work on the brown mix, otherwise I run out of bobbins to work with.

Good luck spinning!

Oh! And my obligatory yearly Tour de Fleece statement: this is a hobby I do for fun. My blog is not a terf or tradwife friendly space and if you disagree with that, you are not welcome here. I'm well aware of how traditional crafts can be valorized by exclusionary groups, and I want no part of it. Fiber arts are fun and meant to be participated in by anyone who wants to have fun trying it.

My goal for TDF26 is to make a huge dent in this fine Shetland I’ve been putting off spinning since September. I’m spinning it in sports weight-ish with the hopes of making a sweater after! No goals other than putting a good dent in this project!

draconym

Sorry, my what? My pronouns? Oh, yeah I'm between genders at the moment. No, it's cool, I quit my last gender a little while ago because it really wasn't working out. I don't know if I even have a dream gender anymore.

draconym

Oh yeah, it did come with benefits, but they weren't really worth it. The culture was really toxic. To be honest I think I'd prefer a part-time gender so I can just be self-described in my spare time.

draconym

I mean, in a perfect world we wouldn't need gender, you know? We could just voluntarily be perceived as much as we're able, as much as makes us feel fulfilled. Having a full-time gender shouldn't be a prerequisite for food, shelter, and healthcare.

A little bit of pre-TDF spinning. Full picture post when I have time to wash it!

Cotton cardi ready to be made up. Taking a short break while I knit this little shawl for sil's b'day.

Tour de Fleece day one!

Spun about 10g to finish this bobbin. 50g to go, split between two more bobbins.

This is an 80/20 Corriedale/Nylon blend, the one that caused me to learn how to knit socks. I'm now realizing that I think I have a second braid of it somewhere in case 100g isn't enough for a pair of socks. Hope I don't need it because the stash is deeply disorganized right now.

This will probably be my last spin and last pair of socks that involves nylon. I plan to move towards silk/mohair/longwools for socks in the future. (Once I knit out my current sock yarn stash, that is.)
