"You still spinning every day?"
I haven't missed a day of the Tour this year. On a couple days I only spun for 10-15 minutes, but that's better than the zero minutes I was spinning before :-).
I've got all the Tunis spun and am working on chain plying it. Chain plying is taking your spun single and making a really long looped crochet stitch with it and then adding your ply twist and winding it on the bobbin. Make a loop, add twist, wind on the bobbin. Make a loop, add twist... You start with one strand of yarn and end up with basically a three ply yarn.
I washed Kaala's fleece yesterday...and my washing machine died on the final rinse (thanks, 2020 :-/). At least it was the final rinse. I'm hoping it can be fixed because the newfangled washing machines are not useful for washing wool and the old ones are hard to find. Kaala should be dry today and I'll start carding it. I'm planning on spinning six ounces.
The Leicester Longwool curls are also sitting out ready for some attention. I'm still trying to decide exactly what I want to do with them. There are four ounces of curls.
There's still a decent risk of a photo finish for the end of the Tour, but I'm hopeful I can complete my challenge before the end.
Keep spinning!
