I've been spinning for Tour de Fleece. One of my challenges is to spin 4 ounces into 360 yards of sock yarn. I really want it to be a 3-ply for this. My first attempt, using a Corriedale fiber, ended up being only 233 yards. Now, I have a BFL fiber on the wheel and it's coming out super fine. It's taking forever, but I hope to make the 360 goal. If this one fails, I'm going with the accepted option of a 2-ply.
Another challenge is to spin 100 yards on a spindle. This one is a real challenge since I don't use my spindles. They just look pretty sitting on the desk. lol
I'm also spinning some of my alpaca/merino blend I had Liz process last Spring for me. It's gorgeous and spins like butter. ♥
I entered my Jelling Rune Stones Scarf in the DragonflySoars Podcast Birthstone-a-long for the month of June. We had the option of submitting natural colored items since Pearl was the stone of the month. I squeeked it in on the last day of the month. She draws using the random number generator. I won!! ☺ The skein of yarn is coming from Australia so will take a bit of time to get here. I also entered the skein of Yak/Tussah Silk 50/50 blend I had finished earlier in the month. Here's a couple pics of the scarf and yarn I spun.:
