Tour de Fleece! Team Spindlers

Today is the end of day two of the Tour de Fleece! Today was my first day though because my Fourth of July was filled to the brim and I didn't want to rush my first few lengths of spinning. I'm Spinning with Team Spindlers and breaking in my fresh Turtlemade turkish spindle.
My goal is to spin the little over 4 ounces of fiber I purchased at the Long Island Fleece and Fiber Fair from Hampton Artistic Yarns. And then hopefully I will end up plying my singles!

I split each little braid of fiber, and combined them. I have no idea how they'll end up looking but I'm excited to see!

 And here's my the beginnings of my first singles. This spindle just keeps spinning its wonderful!

I will be back with more later, happy spinning all!

Summer Stash Organizing

Now that the summer has begun and I am back home, I am organizing and tidying up my stash. It was all shoved in two big baskets, but now at least most of it, if not all will be in plain sight in all its glory. Most of it is acrylic though because I was very graciously given it by some nice ladies who also knit. Everything has a purpose though, so check back a little later in the summer to see what I do with it!

I realize now that everything is visible how important it is to see everything at once; its so inspiring! It's also easy to arrange the yarn to match up interesting color combinations. 

Of course right now it's a mess. Lots of caking to do, I hate those floppy skeins that acrylic yarn is always wound in. 

Until next time, Happy knitting!

also thank you to everyone who has been reading so far! I don't know who you are, but I know you're there! Add me on Ravelry!
