So day three. New fleece. This is plain swedish (estonian?) wool from UlloMera. It is again spun on my spindle, and for the first time a did the "bracelet" thing - navajoe 2-ply or as some call it "andean plying". Very smart indeed. The fleece-has two colours, but I have done nothing really. I know I should soak it and hang to dry in the hank, but instead I just made it directly to the hank. So - an entire days worth. I would knit this in 5 ok, 10 minutes.... so much yarn needed. But I still have a lot as you can see. I am not really happy with final result, but that is life. Practice makes it better. We have all been beginners, right?

Perhaps you already use one, but if not, you would do well to spin on a spinning wheel next... then you can likely spin as fast as you can knit. Your project looks very inviting. The second year in a row I missed the Tour de Fleece. I am as the spectators on the bike race, spectating as you spinners go for the finish !
