I got behind and then we went on a short trip where I forgot to pack this bag. So, this is my total for Tour de Fleece 2025. There's about two ounces on the spindle, and each fluffy bundle is one-half ounce. I'll keep going and let y'all know the total when I'm done.

Tour de Fleece 2025 Day 12! Yesterday was a rest day for spinning. I had some other things I had to do, so it wasn't actually a rest day for me! Today I had a lovely walk in and practiced walking while spinning on my hand spindle. I'm happy to report I did not drop it on the path!

Day 10 of and I'm starting on braid #2. I still can't believe how bright these colors are.

Spent my time by plying the "z" singles together into the "s" twist. 78 yards at the end of it. It's probably a little too thick for socks (still working on the consistency) but I'm sure I'll figure out something to make with it.

So eight days in of the , and I'm averaging about one-half ounces spun per day. I was hoping to finish up the plying today, but that will be for tomorrow.

So update on Day 4: I finished spinning the Day 2 portion and added it to the bobbin. I then portioned out the last two ounces in that braid. I will spin some more tonight but will work more on this tomorrow. I might have been a bit overambitious with the goal, as I do have other things I have to do as well. I will at least set aside time to spin a little bit each day. This has been good practice for my spindle spinning skills.

Still working on that second ounce, so will see how much I can catch up today. Would love to be able to sit and craft without having to get up to do chores! 🤣

Starting early on my 2024 resolution on putting a pin in projects. This acrylic roving had been spun and cleaned, but not rolled up for Mom to use. (This is her preferred way to work with yarn for projects.) 427 yards, ranging from DK to bulky, as it was a learning experience.
