The Tour de Fleece 2021 Begins

I began the Tour de Fleece 2021 at 10am, spinning outdoors in the (hot) shade, but by noon I had to retreat indoors to air conditioned comfort. It's 40°C, (104°F) out there and will be getting hotter as the day progresses! 

My goals for the 23 day tour are to spin every day, and to finish up with enough handspun of this colourway to make something worthwhile. 

I have six of these vibrant BFL braids, all dyed by Jude Pilote of Ewesful Creations.

Al Fresco Spinning

Yesterday, after a long walk, the dogs joined me for an lovely day of "al fresco spinning".



The weather was perfect! There was enough sunshine for it to be cheerful, yet a light breeze and occasional cloud cover to keep things comfortably cool. The temperature was such that a person could be comfortable in either jeans or shorts.



To add to the ambiance the ring neck doves were cooing in the background and the gentle breeze played softly with the neighbours' wind chimes.
