This year I&#8217;m on a team where if you don&#8217;t end up spinning every day, that is OK. I mean, it&#8217;s really always OK because it&#8217;s just for fun &#8211; but every year I try &#8211; and every year I do not succeed. I am hoping this year will be different. I&#8217;m currently spinning a very lovely grey alpaca, and I&#8217;m hoping to ply it with some merino. I figure I will spin one bobbin of each, and then on my 3rd bobbin I&#8217;ll ply. I&#8217;m debating if I want to do a 2ply or a 3ply, but I only have three bobbins &#8211; maybe I will order some new ones. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is day 1 of the 2026 Tour de Fleece.
