Happy mid-week one of Tour de Fleece. This roving is called Sea Glass. It’s a colorway I’ve made for many years. Some pieces of found sea glass are salty green and some are salty blue. I like spinning this one. #avalonspringsfarm #roving #tourdefleece2021 #farmfiber #wool #mohair #alpaca #tdf2021 #fiberartist #fiberfarm #marylandsmallbusiness (at Avalon Springs Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQv-UcKJGf0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just a quick post of some handspun. I find handspinning very relaxing. Happy Tour de Fleece everyone! This is my Crocus in Snow roving. #avalonspringsfarm #roving #handspinning #farmfiber #tourdefleece2021 #wool #mohair #handspunyarn (at Avalon Springs Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtNIPPpz7c/?utm_medium=tumblr
