Tour de Fleece 2021: Days 1-23

The 2021 Tour de Fleece ended yesterday (July 18), and after 23 straight days of spinning yarn, I'm ready for a (small) break. My goal for this year's Tour was to sample some of my raw fleeces and work on raw fleece from the 'Shave 'em to Save 'em' project too. 


Breeds Spun: Shetland, Icelandic, Jacob/Columbia, California Red/Romeldale, CVM (California Variegated Mutant), CVM/Merino, Shropshire, Dorset Horn, Gulf Coast Native, BFL (Bluefaced Leicester), Navajo Churro, Florida Cracker, & Hog Island.


๐Ÿ‘Tour de Fleece, Days 1-23 : All from raw fleece (scoured/combed or carded) 13 sheep breeds. Yarn yield = 3,813 yards of singles; 850 grams (28.61 ounces) of wool. ๐Ÿงถ
