Tour de Fleece
Tour de Fleece is just around the corner, so I'm going to give it a try this year under the banner of Team Tale Spinners. I'm warming up slowly with Florenz, but I have a couple empty spindles to take up the slack when he gets a full tummy of mulberry silk. The other possibility, though the amount is rather daunting, is the gorgeous merino/camel/tussah blend I got--also from Corgi Hill Farm. For now, though, my master plan is to spin this stuff and find a truly amazing scarf pattern to use it with. Pictures forthcoming... but I swear it's getting really hard to wait for Tour de Fleece. My fingers keep twitching toward the silk, but I'm trying. Really, I am. Really. Promise.

Find something else to do before it starts - something that isn't spinning. I might get the drumcarder out to prepare my fleece before Woolfest, but I daren't start spinning beforehand.
I can't wait to see DH's face when I have two or even three wheels out in our (small)sitting room, all with different things on.
