Freya's little helper strikes again. I'm trying to sort out my spinning for today, and all this one wants to do is get blitzed on wool fumes

I've been waiting months for my first wheel (I pre-ordered it) and my spinning group got me a card to celebrate its delivery 😭❤️

And plied.
What a difference it makes, when you don't try to spin as finely as possible.
Pre finishing the yarn is not super soft to the touch, but the fiber mix (40% Devon Closewool / 40% Romney / 20% Exmoor Blueface) wasn't suggesting it would be too soft anyway - all of those breeds are in the mid 30ies micron count.
I'll spin the other braid and finish them together.

First bobbin filled. The fiber consists of two layers - one is silk or a silk-merino blend, the other just merino. This is the first layer, spun very finely. I'll spin the second layer onto another bobbin and then ply both together.

This year I didn’t manage to spin every day of the Tour de Fleece, due to other obligations. But I managed to spin everything in the spinbox from @Spinspul, so now I’ve got 420 grams of Shetland/tussah silk yarn. And besides that also 300 grams of Veluws heideschaap. So all in all it’s been pretty good. #TourDeFleece2026 #HandSpinning #SpinningWheel

#FlashbackThursday Have you every wondered how all those parts of a spinning wheel are actually called? I've got you covered! 😃

I don't think I've seen this in a long, long time, so maybe it should be brought out again.

Progress - one bobbin mostly filled. The first batt was enough to fill one bobbin and the second one to about 2/3.
So this means I'm over the halfway point with the spinning on this yarn.
And there's now also a handspinning fedigroup

This is the beginning of the second of three batts from the same colorway. The turquoise is way greener than in this, but present light doesn't allow for better pictures.
Anyway. I'm spinning it with a lowish twist and aim for a bit to even single that will finally turn into a rustic 2ply. The plan is to weave with the finished yarn

Tour de Fleece day 21, 22 and 23. Finished the light green, plyed 100 gram of Veluws Heideschaap and almost finished 15 gram of apple green. The TdF has ended but I have another 6 colours to go. And after that every little turtle has to be plyed. So I guess I have to continue spinning during the TdF Femme 😀 #TourDeFleece2025 #HandSpinning #Spinning #SpindleSpinning #handspun #SpinningWheel

Spinning update: handcarded faux rolags that mixed the two colourways that I was thinking of. Spun my singles a bit thicker too, hopefully I'll get a sportweight 3-ply out of it. #knitting #crochet #HandSpinning #YarnSpinning #HandSpunYarn #FiberArts #TurkishSpindle

Spinning update: As 3-ply it really does remind me of tropical punch! Hmm thinking of plying it with my more white-gold/platinum blonde colourway to bring out the yellows... Let me have a think.
