Tour de Fleece 2010 – Days 18 – 23

This post is photo-heavy… ready?!

So, I figured I should go ahead and wrap this up. Had fun, won a prize (more on that in the next post), and got lots of yarn spun! Without further ado, here are my final photos from this year’s Tour de Fleece:

Days 18-19 – No photos. Day 18 was a frustrating day and I didn’t really produce anything I wanted to take a photo of. Day 19 was officially a rest day, though I still spun. More frustrating stuff. Moving along.

Day 20

50/50 Merino/Bamboo from Creatively Dyed – corespun

I could not figure out what to do with this fiber for the longest time. It’s absolutely gorgeous, I love the colors and the shine of the merino/bamboo, but the color repeats were so small and it was so slippery that trying to spin straight-up yarn with it was not working out for me. Muddy yuck. So, finally, I thought of trying corespinning. This is only my second attempt and I thought it was going pretty well…

Day 21 – Hilarity ensues!

Corespun – way, way, way spun

Whoops.

Day 22

I seem not to have taken a photo on day 22. I started spinning something new, and the finished yarn is shown on the last day. But for day 22, let’s take another look at that corespun:

twiiiiiist!

So, so, pretty. But so, so twisty. I despaired.

Day 23

Merino/Tussah Silk from Dicentra Designs

This yarn was so shiny and bright, it was hard to photograph. It’s not my best… think I was getting a little tired of spinning by this time.

So, that’s everything for this year! Here’s a little collage of everything I worked on:

Thanks for following along! A couple of these are up for sale at my Etsy shop if you see anything that interests you.
