I spun a sample weighing 27 grams @ 16wpi and approx. 92 yards (which should give me approx. 1,545 ypp) to swatch for the sweater intended for this fibre. A fingering two-ply (one ply of Ashford merino/silk Sorbet and one ply of Ashford merino/silk in Vanilla) I wanted to avoid possible muddiness.

Note to self. Tour de Fleece starts Saturday, July 05, 2025 and runs until Sunday, July 27, 2025. Before the event starts: Finish the tweed spin your sister has laid claim to. Swatch the sweater spin (10g each colour) to make sure it's a go.

I need to say this because it's beyond irritating from several comments I've read. The new Pope isn't about the USA. It's about the Vatican choosing a spiritual leader of the Roman Catholic Church whom happens to be American. He serves all.

Some good news for a change! 👍

A certain person knows how to make me feel like a worthless human. My life was destroyed in 2024. I'm trying my best. Sorry it's not good enough. I know what needs to happen. Instead of reminding me of why it needs to happen, offer me some encouragement and emotional support. I'm all alone in this.

LOL...good one! BTW: Where's Rudy? He's one of best examples of the cost of being a Felon Trump loyalist until your brand of loyalty is no longer needed.

My first EEW 6.1 spin. 2-ply @ 604 yards & 262 grams. Northern Lights roving, colour Grape Jelly that sat in my stash since 2008. 😬 I didn’t know if I would like spinning on an e-spinner, but I love it. #handspunyarn #handspinning #eewspinning #espinners

There is a testknit call open in my Ravelry group. Would you like to testknit my shawl pattern? www.ravelry.com/discuss/koto...

I have three spinning wheels. An Ashford Traveller DD set up for plying. My main wheel and baby, a Majacraft Suzie Pro and my newest to the family, an EEW 6.1. Why am I eyeing Turkish spindles? 🤨 #handspinningrabbithole #handspinning #spinningtools

Maybe I will start my sweater spin as part of the Tour de Fleece. 👍 bsky.app/profile/tour...

Decisions, decisions. Start a large sweater quantity spin or a couple of quick spins? I'm a Libra. I can hem and haw on this for the rest of my life. 😂 I have Ashford Merino/Silk for my sweater spin. Each to be plied together. Resulting yarn to be held together with Estelle Yarns lace weight
