waaaay overdue #tourDeFleece update: on day 13 I did indeed spin some wool I carded myself (forgot to take a picture while still on the spindle, but here it is before being lightly blocked:

I think that for the rest of the fleece I want to try combing it, but with this bit I also want to try some naalbinding.

Then I finished some generic black roving from the yarn shop (that I had started before #TdF19 and kept as my to-go "spin for 5 minutes" project), spun worsted, and then, instead of being able to write this post life happened again, badly, and I just didn't have the energies for it.

In the next few days I also spun another bit of generic blue roving from the yarn shop, this time woolen, and that was it for my spinning this month.

I'm definitely happy with the amount of spinning I did: I completed everything that I had planned (and didn't hurt my hands) and by the time I had the forced stop I was already thinking about stopping for a while and using some spun yarn in order to decide what kind I needed more: I'm weaving a scarf on the backstrap yarn and winging it without real plans, so I'm not sure if I'll have enough weft, but I also want to try some tablet weaving with the same fiber, spun thinner, so I want to leave some of the roving for the project that will need it most.

I think my spinning has improved a bit, and trying to card was also something I wanted to do: I'm definitely not proficient at it, but I have plenty of materials to learn (today I washed a bit more of the fleeces)

I also learned that whorls made in salt dough will. break., but then it is quite easy to “glue” them back with a few drops of water and some time.
