Tour de Fleece - finish line!
So today was the end of the Tour de Fleece. I managed to get 3 fleeces skirted, one whole one of those got washed... the Corriedale-Border Leicester cross (it's the grey one.) 1/2 of that one was beaten with a stick (not really, I use my dryer) and then half of that got carded. I'm half done with spinning the 5 batts that I carded up, at least in single form. I have about 4 oz spun up so far.
The singles are fingering weight (mostly!) The current plan is to make a 3 ply just-under-worsted (what I think of as worsted) that I can use to make myself a cabled sweater of some sort. The alternate plan is to make a two ply and make a thinner cabled sweater of some sort.

Should you again find yourself in need - I have several large sticks and a great need for the catharsis of beating something with them.
I do have several more fleeces, along with a 3 year old who I'm ready to throttle. oh, did I say that out loud?
