I spun and plyed the singles from a center pull ball for the first half of Sample 85, Lleyn sheep. Singles were spun at 20 wpi, and the plyed yarn is a 2 ply worsted weight, 9 wpi, about 53 yards to 1.75 ounces.

I finished spinning and plying the second half of Sample 83, Cashgora (cross between Cashmere and Angora, aka mohair, goats). Singles were spun at 30 wpi, and chain plyed to get a 3 ply, 9 wpi worsted weight yarn, about 49 yards to 2 ounces. Really gorgeous stuff.

I spun and chain plyed the singles for the second half of Sample 84, Faroe Island sheep. Singles were spun at 20 wpi, and chain plyed yarn is a 3 ply worsted weight, 9 wpi, about 32 yards to 1.75 ounces.

I'm back to working on my breed and fiber study. I finished the first half of the Suri Alpaca sample #79. Singles spun at 25 wpi, plyed from a center ply ball, to get a 2 ply, sport weight, 12 wpi yarn about 44 yards to 1.75 ounces

DAY 8 (July 12th) of Tour de Fleece - I spun the last of my breed/fiber study sample goal for the year and washed them. While they dry I'm starting working through The Spinner's Book of Yarn Designs. Yarn 1 is slub yarn, too much twist. Washing could help, but my next attempt will be on my Lendrum.

I finished the swatches for the Oxford Down sheep wool, sample 89 of my breed and fiber study.

Taught a workshop to a local group of handspinners today, Long Draw Woollen #spinning.

It went well, but goodness it was hot. I'm exhausted.

Having a quiet evening at home, with #thunderstorms rolling around us.

god i can hear the LLMese in youtube scripts so clearly now, it's really offputting. It's especially bad when the LLM uses a word the narrator/presenter doesn't really know and they mispronounce it.
Time to go back to my insane quilters and elderly handspinners i guess.

My spindles arrive with a few fiber treats… 2 samples from some of my hand processed fleeces - one carded as a test spin, & some lovely un-carded, scoured locks. Also a beautiful, hand-dyed sample braid from @fossilfibers.bsky.social

DAY 19 (July 23th) of Tour de Fleece - Since I finished my annual sample goal for my breed and fiber study, I get to spin something pretty. I decided to split the batt I got from @goodkarmafarm and use a piece of PVC pipe to make faux-lags so I could have smaller color repeats.

I started a new spinning project using 16 oz of Paradise Fibers Corriedale top in color Purple People Eater. Spinning at 25 wpi and splitting each piece of top into 4 strips.
