I spun for about 3 hours today and did about 50 grams of some fiber I dyed with food coloring. Our daughter was being silly with the dolly in the background. LOL

Tour de Fleece - July 3
Today I spun for about an hour and a half on my spindle. I love how this yarn is turning out. The color reminds me of flamingos, so I will probably name it that.

Tour de Fleece - Update
Today I spun 15 minutes on my Trindle, 15 minutes on a generic student spindle, and 1 hour and 45 minutes on my SpinOlutions Bee. It was a great start to my first TdF.
Tour de Fleece
Today starts the Tour de France and also the "Tour de Fleece." From the Ravelry Tour de Fleece group: "The concept is simple, They spin, we spin. A real spinning themed spin-along."
I have 1 wheel and 2 spindles that I will be using for the Tour. My spinning wheel is a SpinOlutions Bee, and her name is Beatrice. She folds down to about the size of a sewing maching for easy portability.
With my Bee, who is named Beatrice, I will be starting off by spinning some colonial wool.
I will be spinning some purple colonial wool with my new Trindle:
And lastly, I will be using a student spindle from my friend, Deb, to spin some Knit Picks bare wool that I dyed with food coloring:
Happy Spinning!
