Tour de Fleece: Day 11 - Rainbow rolags spun on a supported spindle
* This is my second ever spin on supported spindles and I am OBSESSED
* The rainbow fibre is 50g hand dyed braid of Jacob from A Lair Artifacts that I turned into rolags on my blending board
* You can see me make the rolags in a reel on my IG or on TikTok, it’s easy to find because of all the bright neon colours!
* Showing my 2 ply first ever supported spindle mini skein which has a whopping 6.1 yds per gram grist!
* Opening up a Rambouillet braid to let it relax before starting some new singles!
Each video I post during TdF will hopefully cover a different aspect of my spinning process so it’s not just me rambling about the same thing over and over. :)
Links to fibre suppliers and dyers, etc. (none are affiliates or sponsors, I just love them). Most of my progress updates will be over Instagram so come over to join the fun!

Team Stashdashers
For the 2nd year in a row I’m on Team Stashdashers, hosted by Melly Knits on Instagram. Melly is THE BEST, she hand processes wool fleece and cards up the most amazing batts. There are 300+ of us in the team this year and our only rule is to spin from our stash! #stashdashers
About TdF
Tour de Fleece runs alongside the Tour de France, and it’s a 3 week period where us yarny spinners have fun spinning as much as we can! It’s definitely a sport but it’s all about having fun, sharing and learning.
