Tour de Fleece 2018, the finale...
...one last spin and the final tally.
Tour de Fleece Day 23
Before spinning, I ran a couple of errands and got dinner in the crock pot. Then I could concentrate on my spinning.
For my last spin, I pulled Winesap [Ravelry], a Falkland top (4.1 oz) from The Yarn Wench. I wasn't sure whether I wanted it to be art yarn or a more standard spin. Once I started spinning, the fiber decided that it wanted to be a fluffy 2-ply. It took longer to spin a two ply than an art yarn, so I didn't finish until after 4pm.
and the close-up:
Specs:
Started and finished 7/29/18
Falkland (4.1 oz) from The Yarn Wench
111.7 yds. 2-ply, 8 WPI

The final tally:
I'll be taking a short break from spinning - at least until August's Spin-In! There are many other projects that need attention now.
