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

I don't think I've seen this in a long, long time, so maybe it should be brought out again.
A spinning wheel made from glass

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

*three hours later*
i have a bowl of washed and picked wool that is now soaking in my sink with a tiny splash of vinegar to be separated out and dyed in the morning!
i also found my dyes and dug out my dyepot and spoon. Pro Tip: don't mix kitchen pots with dyepots if you use professional non-foodsafe dyes. also wear gloves and a respirator if you are working with the powdered stuff. that stuff gets *everywhere* omg.
i'll post pics as soon as i figure out the colors i want. i'm thinking... seafoam, copper, coral, lavender and maybe a dark gold? maybe a pale chestnut? i use CMYK ratios to mix my dyes and it's been a while. so it'll be anyone's guess what i end up with. 😆
