1st DAY of LE TOUR DE FLEECE

Well today June 30th is the first day of Le Tour De Fleece. Many spinners over at Ravelry will be spinning during the Le Tour de France.


I am on team Crown Mountain Farms.  I have very ambitious plans.
Klaus over at CMF helps all of us team members to have a gift of fiber.
He sent us the fiber of our choice. I wanted a nice blue so he sent me Copenhagen Blue. It is a semi-solid, the fiber is BFL.

The first fiber I am working on is CVM/Romeldale. I love this fiber. Soft and long. I prefer long fibers. The color is called Tramat.

Yes these are my shasta daisies growing in my yard. I love daisies.


So here is a group photo of the fibers and colors that I will be spinning.
