Tour de Fleece

Day 1:
Well Day 1 of the Tour de Fleece (TdF) went by without me...I did not get to my wheel on Saturday.
After a morning at the market with my alpaca products and soaps, hubby and I had a wonderful dinner at our dear friends cottage near Temagami. We came home late and my bed was calling me!

Day 2:
Great start. I have a wonderful box of mohair fleece from Wellington Fibre farm in a shade of blue. I already had about 50g spun and this morning I was able to spin about 160 g.
I have about 40g left to spin tomorrow and I hope to be able to ply it on Day 3 or 4.

My intention is to spin different blue fleeces during the TdF and combine all of them in a shawl such as this, or this.

Canada is 145 years old today!
I consider myself very fortunate to live here.
Long life to you Canada!
and tomorrow...my B day!
