It's pretty wild. I've been spinning a lot over the last few weeks and have completed three yarns that I expected to be working on during this Tour. I'll talk more about them some other time.
So here's my plan for this Tour de Fleece.
The first is the Mill-Ends Roving (Huacaya+Tibetan Mastiff+Shetland) that I already started. I have 42 grams remaining in this sample.
I also have Huacaya+Tibetan Mastiff, Huacaya+Shetland and Huacaya only, but since I've joined the Chiengora Team, I will prioritize the Tibetan Mastiff blends for this tour. These yarns will be worked on my Clemes&Clemes wheel.
For my original Louet wheel, I'll continue working on my Shave 'Em to Save 'Em initiative. I have six breeds in queue, so I will not run out during the next three weeks.
Usually my goal is to spin just 10-15 minutes or 1/2 inch each day of the tour, but this year my intent is at least one hour each day, 30 minutes on each wheel.

I'm toying with the idea of making some "art yarns" on the challenge days. I have some carded Tibetan Mastiff that isn't planned for anything, so I feel ok if this fiber gets messed up.
There's still time to sign up if you want to play. The Tour starts tomorrow!
