West Coast Colour...

This was my prize from Team Canada 
on the TDF2015.

The colourway name is:   P.M.S.
65% Polwarth, 10% Silk, 25% Yearling Mohair.
100grams

It's an absolute soft delight to spin never a dull moment while the colours keep changing and it's keeping you spinning.
This was so much fun to spin.

I have opted for  Navajo plying for this beautiful yarn.
I like this resulting skein, it was a real pleasure working this top.
I would love to buy some more in the future.
I did check the website it's under construction so I guess it would be easier
to contact her directly on Ravelry:   Sheepkeeper.
Thanks for the wonderful prize.

Tour de Fleece finish line...

It was my first TDF
After a difficult first week start it went like a charm.
I really enjoyed the challenge and now I have a lot of yarn to pet and to choose some nice projects to enjoy.

Crossing the finish line and stumbling with that bounty.

This was my last stage, some white english leicester I combed and a little bit of corriedale left over.

Next year I will make sure I have some washed, dyed and ready to spin fleece for this event if I'm participating, it is more rewarding and pleasing to spin something I have prepared, no more bad surprises when it's too late to get something more appropriate to really enjoy spinning that many days and hours.
