Us last year: Tadej won't be eligible for the white jersey anymore. :( But the upside is that he won't have to do the podium protocol everyday, which means more recovery time. He may be even more impressive!

Tadej this year: Wore the yellow jersey for most of the Tour. Did most of the post-stage protocols. (Was extremely impressive anyway.)

Well this bamboo fibre is much more finicky than any wool and really wants to be thread.

Looks amazing though!

Not sure what bamboo thread is used for but if anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears ^_^

How tf does Pogi still have three teammates with him, while Jonas only got Sepp Kuss left?

Since when does the UAE teamwork actually work?

Been so busy during the tour (with other stuff... Like moving :p), I haven't really had much chance to spin any. But today I said frick it all! I wanna play with some wooly fluff! So I grabbed my latest fibre acquisition and blended up a gradient. I can apparently not help myself. If I can do a gradient of it, you know that I will try. And then threw that at my medieval spindles.

This is Shetland, corriedale and merino respectively from Maruchi Fibers. Just a quick little sample spin of about 5 grams. Very un-scientific in my blending, no weights or calculation, just purely feel. The plan is to do a 2-ply, where the colors match up as little as possible, but the two plies will still follow the same color progression.

It is truly a luxury to work with pre-prepped fiber. That I haven't had to wash, dye, comb and card myself first haha!

Going to do some spinning today!! Had an incredible week at OCF and now we're home, unpacked, showered, and rested, I can finally dig into my Thai Tea sock spin 👀

I DID get some spindle spinning done at the fair but I didn't take any photos. Might post some of the other photos I took later when I go through them though!

Took a break from tidying and rewarded myself with some spinning of that lovely polwarth
