Lisa talks about the Tour de Fleece. How did it come about? What is it? How to do it? You are also invited to join the Flying Goat Farm team! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this unusual year, even the Tour de Fleece was affected.  The Tour de France did not run in July as usual, but was celebrated on Ravelry anyway.  Then when the Tour did ride in Sept, we did it again. This podcast is about what I spun and learned during the first Tour.  I also included the breed review for Yak fiber, since spinning it was one of my challenge day projects. The Yak fiber was purchased from Laughing Lamb fibers. If you are looking for my live stream, it is on Twitch.tv Need a way to document your spinning project from start to finish?  I created the Spinners Journal for doing just that!

The time of year that we are all consumed with Tour de  Fleece has come and gone ... it's a bit sad, really that these events that  unite the spinning community have to end! Seeing all the inspirational photos on  Instagram will be missed – although, I have noticed there are more and more  spinners out there, sharing their photos and chatting! Regardless, they have to  end at some point because otherwise, there's be no prizes to award! This week,  along with our  regularly scheduled Wool n' Spinning Radio episode for all Patreon subscribers, we have  a quick recap of the Tour for myself along with prizes. Congratulations to those  who won – please send me your mailing addresses and I will pop those in the mail  for you ASAP! Thank you again to Jennifer of Runyan Artware for  contributing so many Rundel spindles to be able to give away – I really  appreciate being able to showcase them and offer them as prizes to everyone! To find your own Rundel spindle, please click here. Congratulations to everyone! - rachel

RSK 494 This week, Kathy talks with our spinning and weaving manager Leslie Ann Bestor all about the New England Weaving Seminar and the Tour De Fleece. And don't miss Steve's Yarn Picks of the Week. (Running Time 28:00)

Today's podcast talks about how to achieve even, consistent 2 ply yarn by counting your treadle movements.  Near the end I do talk about the start of the Tour De Fleece and what I hope to spin during it. If you want to join our discussions and sharing with the YST Team on Ravelry, the best way to find the group is to search under groups for Yarnspinnerstales Spin In.  Hope to see you there!

In this episode, the girls chat about Danie's spectacular Tour de Fleece finish and start pre-gaming for Ravellenics. Miscellaneous things mentioned include the suspended bind-off, Hopkins Sewing Studio bags, a collection of Christmas stocking patterns, and Slo' Moe. Finished Projects Susie finished her her A Night at the Theatre, persevering through two different sons-of-a-stitch while binding off. Danie met her Tour de Fleece goal with seventeen bobbins worth of singles. Seventeen. SEVEN. TEEN. Current Projects Danie worked on her Stained Glass Sock Blanket and her Rhinebeck Campside Cardi. Susie's progress on her Oh Scrap Blanket has slowed, but she did finish another square and she started a test knit for Lucia of the Pearl of the Pacific video podcast. She also cast-on a new cowl design using Yarn Geek Fibers Maven DK in the Boxcar Gallery colorway, as well as Threshold using Sun Valley Fibers Merino Cashmere Silk 75/15/10 Fingering in the Interlude colorway. She also worked on the previously-not-mentioned 4th Birthday Socks using Another Crafty Girl Strong Sock in the Tickle, Tickle colorway. She's digging the tweaked design so much she's already planning a pair for herself using One Twisted Tree Prime in the Frozen Forest of Dean colorway.

In this episode, the girls catch up on their knitting goings-on and Danie's strategy heading into and throughout the first week of Tour de Fleece. No detailed shownotes this week due to Susie's readying for vacation.

Dies ist eine Sonderfolge, in der es ganz um die Tour de Fleece 2015 geht. Was ist die Tour? Wie ist das mit den Teams? Wer/Was ist Team Yeti?

Music is from Music Alley and includes: Snowball fight by Tv's Kyle Preparations for takeoff by Matthew Hall

The real challenge came along with Monday, combining these TdF goals along with the day job! Today's music is Wheels by inglas and can be found on Music Alley.

We'd all love as many of you listeners to come and join us on Ravelry for the annual Tour de Fleece June 29th through July 21st.  Team Yarnspinnerstales can be found at the Tour de Fleece group under the wild card team thread, or search the groups for Team Yarnspinnerstales and you should find it.  See you there!

This is the third and final week of the Tour de Fleece, and I must say there's not much finished yarn in my projects, but there definately is for Digitaldurga. I also discuss the technique of splitting and spinning dyed roving called fractal spinning.  Here's a link to a discussion of the technique in Knitty. Music is by the artist Will Kriski and is called Kerrys Jig, found on Music Alley. 

How do decide just how a fiber should be spun?  I talk about this and the continuing Tour De Fleece spinning projects in this podcast.   In today's music you hear the usual podcast intro and at the end the rest of the song, Spinning Wheels by Clare Dowling, found on Music Alley.  A big thank you to her for sharing this song, so appropiate for the podcasts' intro music!

Tour De Fleece is over!  Aussie Aussie oi oi oi!  AJ talks about what's on the needles, pulls out her crochet hooks, recaps Tour De Fleece 2011, and reviews "A fine Fleece: Knitting with handspun yarns" by Lisa Lloyd.  B helpd diego save the Pepper cheese Monkey.  While AJ renews he faith in Joe's masculinity.  (Not really...)

Week one of Tour De Fleece is over!  Aj isn't comitting to anything knitting wise and is workign on some UFO's and the swatch from Hades.  It's also been one honey of a week and AJ tells about her " Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very BadWeek".

The Tour De Fleece is here!  This week AJ has on her white rookie jersey and is spinning with all she's got.  Even with all this spinning there's something in shipping, a celebratory tea in the tea pot, and Joe is weilding a hammer in the kitchen!
